An '''Energon Harvester''' was used by the Ancients to harvest [[energon]]. As energon flows in the bodies of all [[Transformer]]s, the Harvester can be a deadly weapon in [[Decepticon]] hands.

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
When the Autobots detected an energon vein in [[Greece]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] went to investigate. There they spotted a painting of a god wielding the Energon Harvester and figured one must be on Earth. Bulkhead encountered [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] at the construction site, which meant the Decepticons also knew about the Harvester. After some online searching, [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] found an identical orb in a museum, which [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] confirmed to be genuine.

[[Image:Soundwaveandenergonharvester.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"Now I claim your sun!"]]

[[Team Prime]] surrounded the museum, while [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] [[GroundBridge]]d the children into the museum to steal the Harvester. But [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown attacked the Autobots, [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] snatched the Harvester from the kids, and Miko was arrested. Bulkhead deduced [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] would return to Greece to harvest the untapped energon source. Starscream had already demonstrated its power by absorbing the life from a [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]] and was harvesting the energon when Bulkhead arrived. The Decepticon attempted to use it to kill Bulkhead, but he grabbed onto it, causing it to overload. Bulkhead threw the Harvester into the air, where it safely exploded.

Later, [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] gave a replica of the Harvester (made by Ratchet) to the museum and got Miko out of trouble with the [[Museum security guard|security guard]]. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

Kickback's wing-blades can be attached to any of the four peg-holes, but they nominally peg into the ones at the front, making the weapon vaguely resemble a crossbow. It can also be mounted on his back in either mode by sliding it into grooves found on top of his clawed appendages, with the attached wing-blades giving him a winged backpack of sorts in robot mode.

It's not often a weapon comes along that will make [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] consider trading in his [[fusion cannon]], but the '''Riot Cannon''' is that weapon. Essentially a modified fusion cannon, it fires off high-speed rockets than can really put a crimp in someone's day.

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)/toys#Generations|Starscream]] comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the Neutron assault rifle from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible.

:In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

Confuddlebot

[[File:ABTF-screen Energonicon-Confuddlebot.jpg|right|thumb|280px]]
You wouldn't think the [[Minion Pig]]s could get any dumber, but you'd be wrong. '''Confuddlebot''' can create an IQ-sapping field that turns the marginally-threatening Minions into even ''worse'' soldiers... for a bit, at least.

{{Quote|Generates an IQ sapping energy field.}}

==Games==
===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
*''Rarity'': Common

Confuddlebot can be created by placing three Common Energon Crystals inside the machine at the Pig Lab in [[Piggy Island|Hog Head Mountain]], though it's a bit of a roulette spin to actually ''earn'' it. It may not appear in the roulette, and you may get another Energonicon or an Uncommon Crystal instead.

When activated, Confuddlebot completely throws off enemy aim for a short amount of time, causing their blasts to miss the player. The effect lasts longer the more stored-up energon cubes you have upon activation. While this works fine on all varieties of Minion Pig and even the [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s, the [[missile silo|missiles]] aren't affected and will still home in on you with deadly accuracy. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

==Notes==
*So if [[Ghostbot|Ghostbot's]] effect is dispelled when the Transformer attacks, and Confuddlebot not, why the reverse in rarity difference? Maybe it has to do with the fact that Ghostbot is just a ''little'' more expensive.
*Like all Energonicons, Confuddlebot was originally created via Materials, but this was changed in a March 2020 update. Previously, it took a combination of 1 [[Birdium]], 1 [[Anger Chip]], and 1 [[Super Rareium]] or 1 [[Badness Processor]] and 2 Anger Chips to get Confuddlebot as a possible prize on Professor Pig's roulette contraption.
**Go for the latter recipe, please. Don't spend a Super Rarium if you don't have to.

Chuck (AB)

{{disambig3|Chuck}}
:''Chuck is an [[Autobird]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Angry Birds Bumblebee Bird.png|thumb|250px|Come on, let's dance!]]

'''Chuck''' is the kind of bird who jumps into the fray first, and worries about the consequences later. Gung-ho, impatient, and overconfident, Chuck has often been the cause of [[Red (AB)|Red]]'s plans falling apart, despite his heart being in the right place. Unfortunately, Chuck's need to make up for his past screw-ups sends him hurling headlong into trouble, repeating the cycle all over again. To compensate, Chuck displays uncanny speed and sheer destructive potential, making him an asset to the [[Flock]] despite his personality flaws.

When upgraded by the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]], Chuck assumes the identity of '''[[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]] Bird''', '''[[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] Bird''', '''[[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] Bird''', and '''[[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] Bird''' In this new form. He displays a much more level-headed and responsible attitude... which honestly weirds out his teammates, who are unused to seeing him acting this way, especially [[Red (AB)|Red]]. His old mannerisms nonetheless still shine through when the situation becomes heated, proving that he's the same old Chuck despite his personality overhaul.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Chuckcharges.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Chuck accompanied his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. He managed to foul up [[Red (AB)|Red]]'s attack plan by rushing the attack, and accidentally caused the Bad Piggies' building to collapse. The Flock got buried in rubble while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. After [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb]] managed to get them out of the debris, Chuck sheepishly apologized to the others for his screw up. While [[Red (AB)|Red]] reprimanded Chuck for his foolishness, the [[Blues]] flew off after the pigs on their own. The Flock began searching for the three little birds, though both [[Terence (AB)|Terence]] and Chuck saw the task as a waste of time. The Blues managed the find their way back on their own, and began blabbing about an "EggSpark" and "[[Deceptihog]]s." Seeing an opportunity to redeem himself for his earlier screw-up, Chuck once more rushed ahead of the group.
[[File:Angry Birds Transformers issue 1 Bumblebee and Grimlock.jpg|240px|thumb]]
Coming upon the EggSpark and the upgraded Bad Piggies, Chuck found his flight-path obstructed by [[Hal]]. Unable to slow down in time, Chuck bumped into the other bird, and sent the both of them hurling towards the EggSpark. Contact with the artifact transformed Chuck into Bumblebee Bird, while Hal became Grimlock Bird. Bumblebee Bird's new form gave him a new outlook on things, and despite being surrounded by Deceptihogs, attempted to talk his way out of the situation. Megatron Pig wouldn't hear it, and began blasting away at the two [[Autobird]]s. Grimlock Bird managed to chase off the Deceptihogs, though they still had the Flock's eggs in their possession. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 BumblebeeBird transforms.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
The rest of the Flock then caught up to Bumblebee Bird. Red quickly became frustrated with Bumblebee Bird's strange new demeanor, and demanded why his friend was acting so strangely. Bumblebee Bird admitted that he only vaguely remembered his existence before becoming an Autobird, but still argued that the best course of action would be for the other birds to acquire robot bodies as well. He pointed out that the Deceptihogs were now in possession of powerful weapons and armor. The only way to combat them would be for the Flock to undergo the transformation themselves. To drive the point home, Bumblebee Bird showed off his ability to become a really cool car. Ultimately, the rest of the Flock agreed to touch the EggSpark. Under Optimus Prime Bird's command, the lot of them transformed and rolled out into action.

[[File:ABTF3 BumblebeeBird fullbody.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
When the Autobirds caught up to the Deceptihogs, Bumblebee Bird's former brash persona once more came to the forefront. He was unable to stop himself from charging the pigs by himself. This once more proved to be foolish, as he was beaten down by [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], and trampled by Megatron Pig. The clobbering he received damaged Bumblebee Bird's vocal processor, forcing him to communicate in beeps and squeaks from that point on. The rest of the Autobirds then joined in the fight, finding themselves evenly-matched against their opponents. The squabble was interrupted when the Flock's eggs, which had previously been exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

The two factions joined forces against the newly arisen threat. Their truce was a shaky one, however, with Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig soon arguing with one another on the battlefield. Bumblebee Bird agreed with Grimlock Bird that the argument was an entertaining one. Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and the birds/pigs alliance redoubled their efforts to drive the Eggbots back. Unfortunately, with the EggSpark still in contact with Piggy Island, the land itself was becoming increasingly unstable and dangerous. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4BluesandChuckargue.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8]]
Bumblebee Bird and Heatwave Bird were the ones that came up with the solution to end the madness: simply separate the EggSpark from Piggy Island, halting the artifact's influence. Bumblebee Bird's part in the task ahead was to run interference against the Eggbots while the others made their way to the EggSpark. But the plan went awry when both [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] and [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] betrayed the group. The EggSpark was now in Starscream Pig's possession, who planed to use its power for his own selfish goals. Bumblebee Bird stepped in at that point, and using a giant slingshot, hurled both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Piggy Island and all of its inhabitants then returned to normalcy. As the Flock reflected on the day's events, Chuck claimed he had gained the coolest form, and that he had saved the day all by himself. The Blues disagreed. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Though he was once very competitive, after his transformation into an Autobird, Bumblebee Bird only wants to be liked. Nobody knows why he only speaks in radio instead of squawking. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Soundwave Pig planned to smash Bumblebee Bird's car mode to pieces with a sonic weapon. Bumblebee Bird managed to avoid the attack by speeding away. Bumblebee Bird later participated in a great big clash against the Deceptihogs in the middle of a desert. He faced off against Lockdown Pig. The Autobirds came out victorious thanks to their superior cunning and strength! {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

==Commercial appearances==
Chuck got turned into Bumblebee Bird by the power of the EggSpark. He readied himself to face off against the Deceptihogs, only to find himself surrounded by turrets, recently Cyberformed by the Eggbots. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces, and began blowing up the turrets before chasing away the Eggbots and driving off into the distance. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers: Cinematic Trailer}}

Bumblebee Bird showed off his sweet dance moves and sharp-shooting skills to the sound of some techno music. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Chuck as Bumblebee}}

Bumblebee Bird faced off against a swarm of Flying Pigbots, barely dodging their rapid fire. As he looked around for an escape route he spotted... Heatwave Bird, relaxing in a hammock and nursing a pineapple drink. Bumblebee Bird asked for his help, but Heatwave Bird was uninterested... until a stray shot destroyed the little umbrella in his drink. Bumblebee Bird held his friend's drink as Heatwave Bird took out the pigs with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

*''Unlock Type'': New Area (70 pigs) TelePod

Bumblebee Bird is the first character to be freed from his glass prison. In contrast to the balanced Optimus Prime Bird, Bumblebee Bird's more about speed than defense, and is easily one of the fastest characters in the game; in vehicle mode he can actually outrace [[Missile silo|missiles]], getting out of their range. Like Chuck in the classic ''Angry Birds'' game, his missiles can destroy wood blocks with ease, but they're weak against glass. However, upgrading his weapon will rectify that weakness. He also used to have infinite ammo as well, but this was removed in an update. Boo!
Also unlike Optimus, he can only shoot six missiles at a time before having to reload, though this is as quick as the time between shots.

Oh. Wait a sec. That's right. If some people who've played the game for a long time might be wondering, he might also be the only lone character to be 'buffed' by recent updates in the entire game- as evident by his current weapon, which fires the same missiles but with an in-built incendiary upgrade. Blocks (specifically gold and wood) and pigs upon eating these missiles will additionally burn with a lime-green flame and take damage over time. Not one of the so-called 'weakest' Autobirds anymore!

The Eggspark created another Bumblebee Bird in inverted stealth colors, which caused some tensions between him and the original. He has higher overall stats, especially in the speed department, and shoots his missiles very rapidly, but with longer reload. As a Variant Version character, he gets double coins from completed events, but gets nothing if he fails.

And a bit of bad news. His high rate of missile fire comes at a price- his incendiary effects. Oops.

====As Rodimus====
[[File:Rodimus-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squads'': '''The Hotrods, The Wreckers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': In-app purchase, Challenge Event Prize
Who would have thought that a Bumblebee would be redecoed as a Rodimus? As both [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] and Chuck are headstrong and impatient, they go quite well together! It took the Autobirds a quite a while to find him because he's always moving.

Appropriately enough, his weapon shoots fireballs that burn targets over time, much more quickly than the incendiary rounds of Bumblebee and many others. The flames spread quickly to wood and glass and breaks them, but does poorly against stone.

He was first available during the Black Friday sale in 2015, in the Fire Bundle which also contained 250,000 coins and 100 gems, at the actually quite low price of $3.99. (Among the other offers at that time were accessory bundles and discounted gems.) And for those who didn't want to ''buy'' a new character, almost a year later he and his accessories were available as a the main prize during the "You've Got the Touch" challenge event, also celebrating the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Codes to unlock Rodimus were also distributed by developer [[Exient]] at the TF Nation 2016 fan convention. He also appears in a bundle which can be bought when a new save is made for the game and usually only lasts for about a week before disappearing (although the bundle apears again when you go offline but can't be purchased).

The energon version of Bumblebee has a different weapon surprisingly, firing three simultaneous plain missiles at varying angles. And of course, following the trend, he can collect energon cubes to heal himself, but is more susceptible to damage as a result. Yeah, not much to say.

This evil version of Rodimus fires dark energy projectiles, which explode with an aura that pushes away any block or pig that happens to be too close. Be wary! He's done many evil things, but the most evil? Being in a squad where his placement makes no sense.

*''Squad'': '''The Iconic Transformers'''

A new (or old...?) version of Bumblebee with a Volkswagen Beetle vehicle mode, "in honor of [[Bumblebee (film)|his new movie]]?." He fires one energy bullet at a time that looks similar to [[Moustache Pig#As Barricade|Barricade]]'s weapon, but this one makes blocks and pigs fly up and then fall back to the ground at great speed. Needless to say, this does not go well for the block/pig in question.

Cliffjumper is one powerful warrior. His intimidating red paint and long sharp bull horns are very well known to scare off Deceptihogs easily, as well as his catchphrase: “Let me at ‘em!” Cliffjumper fires a salvo of missiles that fly to the target in a very wobbly way. And boy, are they destructive!

He was available in the event of the same name in October 2019, for the prize of 10000 Tokens.

====As Cosmos====

*''Squad'': '''Reinforcements'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an alien angry bird/transformer hybrid with guns! [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] is Chuck's newest incarnation in the game, and a real extraterrestrial one! Cosmos can reach velocities high enough to get him to space, where he often just looks around for any Eggbot activities. Did you know most of the map nodes are actually there because that guy detected them? Way to go, Star-Lord!

His weapon is a single green or purple taser bullet that, similar to [[Chuck (AB)#As Classic Bumblebee|Classic Bumblebee]]'s weapon, rockets pigs and blocks up in the air. The only thing that really makes Cosmos’ weapon different from Classic Bumblebee's, is that it doesn't overheat. And if that weren't enough already, this Autobird has a vehicle-mode special ability. Upon seeing Cosmos’ flying saucer form, the piggies will be baffled by this bizarre appearance and they'll completely lose their aim for as long as that thing is flying around. Useful for when you're at low health and just need to cut and run!

Cosmos was one of the 3 new characters added in the 2.0 update, along with [[Red (AB)|General Optimus Prime]] and [[King Pig|Lord Megatron]].

With destructive Scout Brawl on the loose, the Autobirds need help from the equally... ''unpredictable'' Scout Cliffjumper. Here's hoping they won't just level the entire island in their battle.

His weapon’s effect is pretty similar to his original one. Just a reminder that people actually pay money to get a version of him with just a few battle scars and the same weapon.

* Chuck's design for Bumblebee is loosely based on [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s design from the movies, primarily from [[Transformers (film)|the first movie]]. His High-Octane Bumblebee, on the other hand, is based on the undercover deco in [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]] and pretty much every [[black repaint]] of Bumblebee ever. His Classic Bumblebee takes inspiration from the [[Bumblebee (G1)|original G1 namesake]] like the VW Beetle vehicle mode and the small horns; but he's been released on [[Calendar|December]] [[2018]] [[Bumblebee (film)|so....]]
[[File:ABTF-Red-bumblebee.jpg|thumb|200px|You're no Cliffjumper!]]
* Chuck-as-Cliffjumper continues the popular trend of a red repaint of Bumblebee, the Classic Bumblebee to be precise.
* There's a mysterious red redeco of Chuck-As-Bumblebee that's not found in the game's character select and upgrade menu, he acts similar to the normal Bumblebee but has incendiary rounds instead. <ref>[https://twitter.com/saffrox765/status/1958044344273035417 Gameplay of the Red Bumblebee]</ref>
* Chuck-as-Cosmos gives him a similar design to the traditional Cosmos look, but he uses the same mannerisms/animation set as [[Silver (AB)|Silver]]. Funny enough, in the second ''Angry Birds'' movie, Silver is Chuck's sister.

:''Underbite, Devourer of Nuon City, is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:Underbite.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Say hello to goodbye, Dr. Venture!]]
Two things rule the thought processes of '''Underbite''': eating and bragging. This Decepticon [[Chompazoid]] is extraordinarily proud of his strength, which increases as he consumes more metal. To him, everything is a workout, all in the goal of pumping up and bulking out. He's even gone so far as to name his forearms "Thundercruncher" (right) and "Boltsmasher" (left). He kisses them.

He claims to have devoured the entirety of [[Nuon City]], a feat about which he brags endlessly. So proud is he that he reacts quite violently to anyone ''not'' aware of his reputation.

Physically, he has few equals... provided he's got a steady diet of metal to masticate. On mainly-organic worlds like [[Earth]], however, his rampages can drain him quickly, leaving him with little to juice up on. So strong is his need to feed that he'll ignore threats in favor of chasing down a pick-me-up.

[[File:PilotPart2 Underbite Grimlock square off.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"We need more teeth."]]

Underbite was apparently arrested for destroying Nuon City, and was incarcerated aboard the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. After it crashed on [[Earth]], he was freed from his [[stasis pod]] by the impact, and set off in search of food. He eventually encountered [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], and after a brief chase he tangled with the rest of [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team. After spying a nearby scrapyard through the trees, he headed off to devour that instead. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} Despite tussling with [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], Underbite began chowing down on the contents of the scrapyard, only to spot a bigger prize—nearby [[Crown City]]. Unfortunately, the organic matter he encountered along the way was unsuitable for his consumption, and he slowly weakened. Using [[Billy the Breakfast Beaver|metallic bait]], the Autobots managed to lure him to the edge of a quarry. Underbite managed to outfight them and prepared to munch [[Denny Clay]]'s pickup truck. Fortunately, a ghostly [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] intervened and helped defeat the Decepticon by grabbing him and throwing him to the quarry. The Autobots later placed the incapacitated Underbite back in his stasis pod. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

[[File:Sideways Underbite vehicle mode.jpg|right|250px|thumb|So, would this fall under the term "muscle car"?]]

Underbite's stasis pod was stolen by Grimlock while the Dinobot was under the control of [[Minitron]]. Although the other Autobots were able to free Grimlock from the [[cyber-tick]]'s influence, [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had masterminded the heist in the first place, made off with the stasis pod and reactivated Underbite. {{storylink|True Colors}}

Now a member of Steeljaw's [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]], Underbite was hanging out at the Decepticon hideout with [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] when Steeljaw arrived with newcomer [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]]. After Clampdown fled due to [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] threatening him, the other Decepticons tracked him to a garbage tip where they encountered the Autobots. Underbite fought with Grimlock, however this time the Autobot managed to take him out- first by force-feeding him plastic and then cannonballing him. Steeljaw later freed the gang, and they escaped back to their hideout. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

[[File:Lockout-underbiteflexes.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Underbite skips leg day.]]

Underbite took part in an attempt to free the prisoners in the Autobots' scrapyard. After Steeljaw trapped the Autobots outside using subsonics, Underbite was given the task of guarding the prisoners, only for them to escape while he was eying up some nearby scrap as potential food. Once the Autobots regained access to the scrapyard, Underbite was swiftly taken down by [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and later fled back to base with the rest of Steeljaw's gang. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:BattlegroundsPart2-Underbitepowersup.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I eat heavy metal and gargle premium gas. I drink heavy water and nitro-demitasse.]]

Out collecting parts for the device Steeljaw's [[The Fallen|mysterious friend]] wanted them to build, Underbite and Thunderhoof happened across Sideswipe and Strongarm, promptly capturing the pair with Fracture's help. When [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] flew over the steel mill hideout, Underbite was able to bring her down with a precisely thrown beam, adding her to their collection of hostages. The Decepticons were soon busy at work constructing the gateway Steeljaw's ally required, however when Bumblebee and Drift arrived, Steeljaw assigned Underbite and Thunderhoof to intercept them. Underbite swiftly dealt with Drift, allowing Megatronus to arrive on Earth. He and the other Decepticons were rendered unconscious when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] tried to interfere with the arrival. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} They came around in time to prevent the Autobots getting hold of Megatronus's staff, however when Megatronus turned on Steeljaw, Underbite, Thunderhoof and Clampdown attempted to flee. They ran straight into Team Bee, and Underbite was taken out when Bumblebee cannonballed into him. The defeated Decepticons were later stored away in stasis pods. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

Underbite's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by Optimus Prime, Windblade and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

[[File:PrepareForDeparture Underbite guarding.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
When the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] released Steeljaw from prison to keep Bumblebee and his team occupied while they made plans to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} Underbite was also released with the promise of a full pardon should the Pack succeed in terminating the Bee Team. They returned to Earth where they mounted an assault on Denny's scrapyard that forced the Autobots out of their home. Switching tack, they headed to the [[Crown City Dam]] where they sabotaged it to draw the Autobots out, resulting in a fight which ended with the Decepticons falling into the river. {{storylink|Exiles}} Underbite and the other members of the Pack split up to search for members of the Bee Team. {{storylink|Breathing Room}} Gaining new orders from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], the Pack were sent to a waste disposal site to dig up spent nuclear fuel, though Underbite played guard dog while the others excavated. When the Autobots inevitably turned up, Underbite battled an oddly-reluctant Grimlock until Clampdown hit paydirt and the Decepticons made off with their prize. The Pack stopped off in a warehouse so [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]] could dispute the nuclear fuel towing arrangements, resulting in the Autobots catching up with them. During the fight which ensued, Underbite was stomping the Autobots when Sideswipe threw Grimlock at him. The Decepticons were again forced to retreat. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}}

[[File:PrisonerPrinciples Underbite chomp.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Steeljaw next set the Pack's sights on breaking into a nuclear plant, having Underbite and the others scan new color schemes to use as disguises. They managed to gain entry into the plant and started looting fuel rods until the Autobots again crashed their operation. Underbite did his best to keep Bumblebee busy, but was knocked out by his opponent. After Steeljaw set the plant to meltdown, Bumblebee and Strongarm had to carry Underbite's unconscious body clear. He and the other captured Pack members were temporarily housed in makeshift cells in the Autobot's cave. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}} The Pack members were returned to the scrapyard when the Autobots took it back, however Underbite promptly escaped while Grimlock was trying to secure him in a stasis pod. During the ensuing battle, Underbite ate the field generator out of the [[GroundBridge]], which resulted in him randomly teleporting to different locations as the Bee Team struggled to keep up with him. Fixit was eventually able to GroundBridge him back to the scrapyard and nullify the field generator, after which Denny and [[Russell Clay|Russell]] tricked him back into a stasis pod. {{storylink|Something He Ate}}

After being reprimanded by Steeljaw, Underbite and Thunderhoof went for a stroll down to the Crown City docks, where they stumbled on [[Slink]]'s pet food hoarding operation. Underbite fought her lackeys [[Sneak]] and [[Snitch (RID)|Snitch]] until the Autobots arrived, at which point he battled Grimlock, until the Dinobot defeated him with Bumblebee's help. When Thunderhoof brought the warehouse down, Underbite departed with all haste. {{storylink|Sideswipe Versus Thunderhoof}}

When Crown City was overrun with [[Insecticon (WFC)#Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|Insecticon]]s, Underbite took the opportunity to join in the mayhem.

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#One-Step Changers|One Step Changer]]s, Underbite changes from a Cybertronian four-wheeled tank-like car-thing into a Chompazoid. His spring-loaded transformation to each mode is triggered by pressing his back legs together. The back of his beast-head has a spring-loaded lever that activates his bitey-jaw gimmick.

: He is adorable.

: Like all ''Robots in Disguise'' toys, he has a bordered [[insignia]] on the top of his head/vehicle roof. However, it can't be scanned while he's still in-package, as it's behind the front-bubble instructions.

: The TakaraTomy version of Underbite, part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#TakaraTomy Adventure toyline|Adventure]]'' line, features a brighter shade of his purple plastic, and a different scan-badge, which is compatible with the ''[[Transformers Chronicle (app)|Transformers Chronicle]]'' app, unlocking him in the toy checklist.

: Caution should be used with his transformation, as many early samples would lose the ability to lock into robo-[[beast mode]] with rigorous/repeated squeezing of the haunches (vehicle is the "default" state, beast mode relies on a tensed spring to stay locked in). This also shares to his Japanese release too. Also, Underbite does not work with [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp & Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]] due to him being quadrupedal.

[[File:SRaker.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Christmas? I, hate Christmas."]]
There are many lost bots who are in need of someone to look after them and '''Shadow Raker''' has taken many under his wing. Calling his pupils his 'Shadows', Shadow Raker teaches them the finer lessons of martial arts. He only asks for two things in return: complete loyalty to him and stealing anything he wants. While he delights in the riches his pupils steal for him, his greatest thrill is twisting their innocent minds until they're as rotten as he is.

[[Drift (RID)|Deadlock]] was one of his best students until he betrayed Shadow Raker and "stole" [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] from his "tutelage".

[[File:TRID E 54 Shadow Raker Insect Mode.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Tear this ship apart until you've found those plans, and bring me the passengers. I want them alive!"]]
Shadow Raker was Drift's mentor back when his name was Deadlock, as well as Jetstorm and Slipstream's deployer. Eventually Drift broke from him and took Slipstream and Jetstorm with him. When he came to Earth, his intention was to retrieve Jetstorm and Slipstream. The [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] came on to his ship to catch him, but he easily lead them into a trap. Drift tried to fight him off only for him to blinded by Shadow Raker's webbing.

He escaped into the forest and trapped everyone except Drift with his webbing. He crossed with Drift again and they fought. Drift almost won, but Shadow Raker webbed him to a tree and then captured Jetstorm and Slipstream. The duo managed to fool him into thinking they were still loyal to him. They also convinced him to go after the [[Shanix]] held at the [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences]]. They actually lured him into a trap, as the rest of the Bee Team was waiting for them. He webbed them except Drift again and they had another vigorous battle. This time Drift won and gave Shadow Raker an educational speech. When he tried to escape, Drift deployed Jetstorm and Slipstream to knock him out. He was then put in a [[Stasis pod|stasis pod]]. {{storylink|Out of the Shadows}}

Shadow Raker's stasis pod was later taken back to Cybertron aboard ''[[Prime Force One]]'' by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and Drift. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

==Notes==
*Shadow Raker uses an altered version of [[Saberhorn]]'s character model, swapping his horned helmet for one with a large crest, the left extension being broken, his shoulder platings enforced with two more and his head in beast mode is reminiscent of an arachnid's.

The skittering scumbag '''Clampdown''' is always looking to make a deal to save his own shell.

Unfortunately, he's been pressganged into working with [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]] after they saved his hide from the [[Autobot]]s. To make things worse, he's now forced to work alongside [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]], a fellow ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' escapee and a victim of Clampdown's big mouth.

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Clampdown reported Thunderhoof's criminal enterprises to the authorities, leading to his arrest. Clampdown later tried to blackmail a member of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], which didn't go over as well. He was arrested and imprisoned on the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' and eventually escaped after the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. He went into hiding in the storm drains under [[Crown City]]. One night, he accidentally encountered a pair of [[human]] street racers, but frightened them off by trashing one of their cars from the shadows.

[[File:Sideways Clampdown vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Well Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam...]]

[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team attempted to arrest him in his sewer hideout, but the panicked crab managed to escape by tearing apart a main pipe, washing the Autobots away. As he left the sewer, he was approached by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had been watching him a while and invited him to his [[Steeljaw's Pack|group]]. Returning to Steeljaw's hideout, Clampdown failed to impress fellow refugees [[Underbite]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]]... and then Thunderhoof arrived. Uh-oh. Though Steeljaw tried to cut the hostilities short, Thunderhoof was having none of that and charged after the snitch. Clampdown fled with Thunderhoof in pursuit, Steeljaw chasing them both, and Underbite and Fracture following along (possibly out of morbid curiosity).

Both the Autobots and Decepticons found Clampdown hiding in a garbage dump, leading to a massive brawl. All of the Autobots were occupied by Steeljaw's gang, leaving Clampdown free to book it... and Thunderhoof free to chase. Clampdown was finally cornered in a water-drenched sinkhole, and in the struggle with Thunderhoof, they both slipped, bashing their heads together and knocking them both offline.

[[File:RID-steeljawsgang.jpg|left|250px|thumb|The sooner we find those Sailor Guardians, the sooner we can go to Dairy Queen.]]
The entire gang was put into [[stasis cuffs]], but Steeljaw was able to free himself and the others. Returning to their hideout, the other Decepticons were still very dubious about accepting Clampdown into their number, but Steeljaw assured them he'd convinced Clampdown to stay and stay loyal... because otherwise, he "wouldn't rest until I'd made him eat his own claws". {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

Clampdown joined the rest of the gang in spying on the scrapyard, then watched as Steeljaw recruited [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]] into the gang to serve as bait. With the Autobots distracted, the Decepticons broke into the Autobot base, intending to free the other Decepticons from their [[stasis pod]]s. Unfortunately, Steeljaw didn't count on their hostages [[Denny Clay|Denny]] and [[Russell Clay]] slipping free, and ordered Thunderhoof and Clampdown to go after them. The dysfunctional pair chased the [[human]]s through the scrapyard, and were tricked into riding a half-completed roller coaster. Clampdown managed to steer both Decepticons to safety at the last moment, and managed to recapture Denny. Before the Decepticons could complete their goal, the Autobots managed to retake the base, and Clampdown received a humiliating tail-thrashing from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. When the Decepticons reconvened at their base, Clampdown hid from a furious Steeljaw. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:Battlegroundspart1-stophurtingyourself.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Clampdown seen here auditioning for the surprised Mr. Krabs meme.]]
Since Steeljaw had paid lip service to [[The Fallen|a mysterious entity]], the gang worked to scavenge materials and construct a "gateway". Clampdown was tortured by the being and made to telekinetically pinch his own arm, much to Thunderhoof's amusement. Along with the other Decepticons and their Autobot hostages, he travelled to the [[Crown City Colossus]]. Clampdown managed to prevent Grimlock from destroying the archway early, allowing Steeljaw to activate the gate and summon Megatronus. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} While Megatronus dueled with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], the Decepticons decided to run for it, only to have their escape blocked by the other Autobots. In the ensuing melee, Clampdown was tackled and brought down by [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] and [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]]. After Megatronus was defeated, Clampdown was re-captured and placed inside a stasis pod. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

[[File:Misdirection-clampdown.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A winning smile.]]

After [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] broke into the scrapyard, he deactivated Clampdown's stasis pod, alongside several others, as part of a bid to bolster [[Glowstrike]]'s forces. When Thunderhoof brought up Steeljaw's past failures at leadership, Steeljaw informed the Decepticons of his alliance with Glowstrike, and gave them coordinates to follow while he remained at the scrapyard. The escapees later reconvened at Steeljaw's coordinates, where, along with the other newcomers, Clampdown was inspected by Glowstrike, although she seemed notably unimpressed with him as an "elite warrior". {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Portals-clampdown.jpg|thumb|right|200px|He's probably regretting putting Vicetopus DNA in [[Khyber|the Nemetrix]].]]

Clampdown gathered with Steeljaw's other followers on the roof of the Island, where he listened to Thunderhoof question Steeljaw's authority, and dryly informed the old mob boss that they listened to Steeljaw because he was "the boss". Steeljaw then arrived to update his gathered brethren about his plans to overthrow Glowstike, until she and [[Saberhorn]] arrived to talk with Steeljaw alone. {{storylink|Portals}}

Later, Clampdown was fleeing from [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] when he unexpectedly encountered Bumblebee's entire team. After a brief reunion with their old friend, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Ratchet captured Clampdown with no resistance. Back at the scrapyard, Bumblebee ordered [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] to take Clampdown out of Stasis for questioning. After being hammered with questions by Bumblebee's entire team, Clampdown's fear overtook him and he passed out, and he was soon re-imprisoned. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Clampdown's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

When the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] released Steeljaw from prison to keep Bumblebee and his team occupied while they made plans to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} Clampdown was also released with the promise of a full pardon should the Pack succeed in terminating the Bee Team. They returned to Earth where they mounted an assault on Denny's scrapyard that forced the Autobots out of their home. Clampdown made a brief attempt to separate Steeljaw and Thunderhoof when the two had a disagreement, before coming to his senses and just letting them go at it. The pack lured the Bee Team to the dam, where during the ensuing fight Clampdown fell victim to one of Grimlock's cannonballs and had Strongarm throw him into a malfunctioning generator. He then led the retreat which resulted in the Decepticons falling off the dam into the river. {{storylink|Exiles}} Spying Strongarm and Sideswipe arguing, Clampdown used a [[Light Bender]] to render a nearby cargo container invisible so they accidentally fell into it and became trapped. He then had to drag them back to the Decepticons' subway hideout and put up with their continued bickering to boot. Sent to find Fixit, he and [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]] had a section of subway dropped on them by the Mini-Con. They dug themselves out and managed to grab Fixit, however once the other Autobots freed themselves, the Decepticons were again forced to cut and run. {{storylink|Breathing Room}}

[[File:PrisonerPrinciples Clampdown towed.jpg|thumb|right|280px|This is what you get when you “borrow” Mrs. Puff’s hair curlers.]]
The pack gained new orders from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and were soon digging for nuclear waste at a disposal site. When the Autobots inevitably found their operation, Clampdown was ordered to keep working while the other Decepticons fought, and successfully found some fuel rods. The Decepticons made their escape, however the Autobots caught up with them in a warehouse and following a second fight, the Decepticons were forced to flee without the rods. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} During an attempt to tunnel into the nuclear plant, Clampdown was arrested by Strongarm and immediately blabbed the entire plan. He ended up handcuffed to Strongarm as she attempted to continue the Autobot's mission, and as a result his attempts at fleeing Thunderhoof, furious at his revealing their plan, were sorely hampered. He was then unceremoniously locked in a vault as the Bee Team continued in their attempt to thwart Steeljaw's plan, and the Autobots later had to rescue him when the power plant was in danger of melting down. He and the other members of the Pack were stuck in makeshift cells in the Autobots' cave. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}}

Clampdown and the rest of the captured Pack members were sealed away in stasis pods when the Autobots eventually returned to the scrapyard. {{storylink|Something He Ate}}

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Clampdown was among the Decepticons who were freed by Steeljaw and set to work mining [[energon]] for their new empire. When Team Bee turned up, Clampdown joined Fracture in attempting to fight Drift, however the [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] they'd been fighting alongside turned on them as a result of Steeljaw's deceit. A well-placed bomb brought the mountain down on Clampdown and his fellows, who were soon restored to stasis pods. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Clampdown''' (Legion Class, 2015-2016)}}</ul>

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Legion Class toys, Clampdown transforms into a wood-paneled hatchback car. In robot mode, he can rest on his claws or on the small "tail" on his backside so he can actually stay upright on those dinky little crab-legs of his.

: His [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]] scan-badge is on his robot-mode left claw, which can be a bit tricky to scan while still in-package.

:This figure has been released twice: First in late 2015/early 2016 in the original ''Robots in Disguise'' packaging design, and then again in late 2016 in the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint packaging refresh.

:*''ID Number'': '''TAV49'''
:*''Release date'': [[May 28]], 2016

: The TakaraTomy ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#TakaraTomy Adventure toyline|Adventure]]'' version of Clampdown is a [[redeco]] of the Legion Class Clampdown figure, replacing the original's black plastic with purple, plus his right claw is now mostly painted purple. While this does make him overall more show-accurate in robot mode, he is less so in car mode, as he has purple tires, a massive chunk of his rear passenger side is now purple, and he lacks the "wood panel" paint altogether. And his teeth are gray for some reason.

: Clampdown was only available as part of a, "[[EZ Collection]]" four-pack with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Adventure4pack|Optimus Prime]], [[Ratchet (WFC)#Adventure4pack|Ratchet]], and [[Drift (RID)#Adventure4pack|Drift]]. Man, he is ''screwed''. This set was released in the fifteenth wave of ''Adventure'' product.

: Like the rest of the ''Adventure'' EZ Collection sets, some online retailers like Amazon Japan were still selling it two years later at greatly reduced prices, some up to 70% off.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Clampdown''' (Action Figure, 2015)}}</ul>
:*''Pieces'': 10

: Part of the fourth and final wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figure toys —and the second wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' characters— Clampdown is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about five inches tall. His right claw is hinged for snippy-snappy action. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head (well, top of his head, at least), biceps, claw-arms, and legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations. Even freakier, his eye-stalks are removable, using the same peg-size as ''Hero Masher'' accessories, so you can pop them out and put them on any accessory mounting point.

: Clampdown's normal construction differs from all the humanoids in the entire line, in that his arms use ''two'' removable parts each instead of just one, and his legs only have a single piece each instead of two. This has confused the hell out of the ''Hero Mashers'' product photography team, who not only [[:File:RID2015-Hero-Mashers-Clampdown.jpg|put his biceps in the thigh position, but put ''all'' of his claws and legs on the wrong limbs]].

: The ''Robots in Disguise''-branded ''Hero Mashers'' did not see release in the US at first, with the first wave eventually hitting discount chains like TJ Maxx and Marshalls. However, wave 2 did not follow, leaving its only release in European markets.

: Part of the ''Robots in Disguise''-branded ''[[Kre-O]]'' product, [[Kreon]] Clampdown is a normal Kreon with a [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]]-style helmet and claw-hands... riding a big four-legged contraption. He comes in the "[[Bumblebee Disc Demolisher]]" set, which includes a large disc-firing vehicle, a [[stasis pod|stasis cell]], and Kreons of [[Bumblebee (WFC)#DiscDemolisher|Bumblebee]] and fellow crustacean-bot [[Bisk (RID)#Kre-O|Bisk]].

: Despite his short stature in the cartoon, Kreon Clampdown's leg-assembly thing makes him the tallest of the Kreons in the line. Also, according to the instructions, his differently-colored claws are backwards from the show model orientation. Oops.

: This set originally only appeared in Canadian and Asian-market stores. By late 2015 however, it had turned up in large numbers at TJ Maxx and Marshall's discount stores in the US.

:*''McNumber'': '''8'''

: Part of the 2015 [[McDonald's]] ''Transformers''/''[[My Little Pony]]'' Happy Meal promotion, Clampdown is a non-transforming action figure. His left claw is actually a spring-loaded missile tied to his arm by a string, triggered by pressing the Decepticon symbol on his bicep. The claw itself also has a spring-loaded [[gimmick]], clamping shut when the trigger panel between the claw-blades is struck.

: Amusingly, this version of Clampdown is not too far from proper [[scale]] with the normal ''Robots in Disguise'' Warrior-class figures.

: The bag he comes in and instruction sheet have a scan-badge that unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]]. This badge is the same for all of the ''Robots in Disguise'' Happy Meal bags and instructions.

: Clampdown can also be scanned into the McDonald's [[McPlay]] app, which recognizes the toy's silhouette. Doing so unlocks Clampdown's version of the "[[Stasis Pod Battle]]" game.

:*''Series'': '''4'''
:*''Number'': '''3/12'''

:Part of the fourth series of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'', this version of Clampdown is a small soft-plastic figurine. While most of the Tiny Titans are "superdeformed" figures, Clampdown's unusual proportions mean this toy is pretty dang accurate. Unfortunately, he has a bit of a problem standing upright.

: He includes a collectible card that includes a scan-badge for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

: This series did not hit normal brick-and-mortar retail in particularly large numbers.

==Notes==
*Clampdown shares a [[body-type]] with [[Clawtrap]].
*When asked about Clampdown's ultimate fate, [[Adam Beechen]] stated in a deleted blog post that he was brought back with the other imprisoned Decepticons to Cybertron after the events of "[[Freedom Fighters]]".
*In the Japanese dub Clampdown's first person pronouns are "Oira" and his catchphrases are "Gachigachi yazo" and "Gachi de", Clampdown's dialogue also had the most improvised lines in the dub.

[[File:RID-clampdown.jpg|right|thumb|350px|oh no. crabes!]]

The skittering scumbag '''Clampdown''' is always looking to make a deal to save his own shell. Despite his impressive claw strength, he's a massive coward, always ready to run (sideways) for the hills, or failing that, squeal on others to the authorities in the hopes of weaseling out of punishment. He's not a warrior in any sense of the word and tends to panic when things go wrong. Unfortunately, he's been pressganged into working with [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]] after they saved his hide from the [[Autobot]]s. To make things worse, he's now forced to work alongside [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]], a fellow ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' escapee and a victim of Clampdown's big mouth.

Yeah, this is gonna go over ''real well''.

:*''Pieces'': 10

: Part of the fourth and final wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figure toys —and the second wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' characters— Clampdown is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about five inches tall. His right claw is hinged for snippy-snappy action. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head (well, top of his head, at least), biceps, claw-arms, and legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations. Even freakier, his eye-stalks are removable, using the same peg-size as ''Hero Masher'' accessories, so you can pop them out and put them on any accessory mounting point.

: Clampdown's normal construction differs from all the humanoids in the entire line, in that his arms use ''two'' removable parts each instead of just one, and his legs only have a single piece each instead of two. This has confused the hell out of the ''Hero Mashers'' product photography team, who not only [[:File:RID2015-Hero-Mashers-Clampdown.jpg|put his biceps in the thigh position, but put ''all'' of his claws and legs on the wrong limbs]].

: Part of the 2015 [[McDonald's]] ''Transformers''/''[[My Little Pony]]'' Happy Meal promotion, Clampdown is a non-transforming action figure. His left claw is actually a spring-loaded missile tied to his arm by a string, triggered by pressing the Decepticon symbol on his bicep. The claw itself also has a spring-loaded [[gimmick]], clamping shut when the trigger panel between the claw-blades is struck.

: Amusingly, this version of Clampdown is not too far from proper [[scale]] with the normal ''Robots in Disguise'' Warrior-class figures.

: The bag he comes in and instruction sheet have a scan-badge that unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]]. This badge is the same for all of the ''Robots in Disguise'' Happy Meal bags and instructions.

*Clampdown shares a [[body-type]] with [[Clawtrap]].
*When asked about Clampdown's ultimate fate, [[Adam Beechen]] stated in a deleted blog post that he was brought back with the other imprisoned Decepticons to Cybertron after the events of "[[Freedom Fighters]]".
*In the Japanese dub Clampdown's first person pronouns are "Oira" and his catchphrases are "Gachigachi yazo" and "Gachi de", Clampdown's dialogue also had the most improvised lines in the dub.

[[File:RID-clampdown.jpg|right|thumb|350px|oh no. crabes!]]

The skittering scumbag '''Clampdown''' is always looking to make a deal to save his own shell. Despite his impressive claw strength, he's a massive coward, always ready to run (sideways) for the hills, or failing that, squeal on others to the authorities in the hopes of weaseling out of punishment. He's not a warrior in any sense of the word and tends to panic when things go wrong. Unfortunately, he's been pressganged into working with [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]] after they saved his hide from the [[Autobot]]s. To make things worse, he's now forced to work alongside [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]], a fellow ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' escapee and a victim of Clampdown's big mouth.

Yeah, this is gonna go over ''real well''.

[[File:Clampdown-RID-13.jpg|thumb|left|250px||[[Clancy Brown|"These claws ain't just for attractin' mates!"]]]]

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Clampdown reported Thunderhoof's criminal enterprises to the authorities, leading to his arrest. Clampdown later tried to blackmail a member of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], which didn't go over as well. He was arrested and imprisoned on the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' and eventually escaped after the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. He went into hiding in the storm drains under [[Crown City]]. One night, he accidentally encountered a pair of [[human]] street racers, but frightened them off by trashing one of their cars from the shadows.

[[File:Sideways Clampdown vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Well Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam...]]

[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team attempted to arrest him in his sewer hideout, but the panicked crab managed to escape by tearing apart a main pipe, washing the Autobots away. As he left the sewer, he was approached by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had been watching him a while and invited him to his [[Steeljaw's Pack|group]]. Returning to Steeljaw's hideout, Clampdown failed to impress fellow refugees [[Underbite]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]]... and then Thunderhoof arrived. Uh-oh. Though Steeljaw tried to cut the hostilities short, Thunderhoof was having none of that and charged after the snitch. Clampdown fled with Thunderhoof in pursuit, Steeljaw chasing them both, and Underbite and Fracture following along (possibly out of morbid curiosity).

Both the Autobots and Decepticons found Clampdown hiding in a garbage dump, leading to a massive brawl. All of the Autobots were occupied by Steeljaw's gang, leaving Clampdown free to book it... and Thunderhoof free to chase. Clampdown was finally cornered in a water-drenched sinkhole, and in the struggle with Thunderhoof, they both slipped, bashing their heads together and knocking them both offline.

[[File:RID-steeljawsgang.jpg|left|250px|thumb|The sooner we find those Sailor Guardians, the sooner we can go to Dairy Queen.]]
The entire gang was put into [[stasis cuffs]], but Steeljaw was able to free himself and the others. Returning to their hideout, the other Decepticons were still very dubious about accepting Clampdown into their number, but Steeljaw assured them he'd convinced Clampdown to stay and stay loyal... because otherwise, he "wouldn't rest until I'd made him eat his own claws". {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

Clampdown joined the rest of the gang in spying on the scrapyard, then watched as Steeljaw recruited [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]] into the gang to serve as bait. With the Autobots distracted, the Decepticons broke into the Autobot base, intending to free the other Decepticons from their [[stasis pod]]s. Unfortunately, Steeljaw didn't count on their hostages [[Denny Clay|Denny]] and [[Russell Clay]] slipping free, and ordered Thunderhoof and Clampdown to go after them. The dysfunctional pair chased the [[human]]s through the scrapyard, and were tricked into riding a half-completed roller coaster. Clampdown managed to steer both Decepticons to safety at the last moment, and managed to recapture Denny. Before the Decepticons could complete their goal, the Autobots managed to retake the base, and Clampdown received a humiliating tail-thrashing from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. When the Decepticons reconvened at their base, Clampdown hid from a furious Steeljaw. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:Battlegroundspart1-stophurtingyourself.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Clampdown seen here auditioning for the surprised Mr. Krabs meme.]]
Since Steeljaw had paid lip service to [[The Fallen|a mysterious entity]], the gang worked to scavenge materials and construct a "gateway". Clampdown was tortured by the being and made to telekinetically pinch his own arm, much to Thunderhoof's amusement. Along with the other Decepticons and their Autobot hostages, he travelled to the [[Crown City Colossus]]. Clampdown managed to prevent Grimlock from destroying the archway early, allowing Steeljaw to activate the gate and summon Megatronus. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} While Megatronus dueled with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], the Decepticons decided to run for it, only to have their escape blocked by the other Autobots. In the ensuing melee, Clampdown was tackled and brought down by [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] and [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]]. After Megatronus was defeated, Clampdown was re-captured and placed inside a stasis pod. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

[[File:Misdirection-clampdown.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A winning smile.]]

After [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] broke into the scrapyard, he deactivated Clampdown's stasis pod, alongside several others, as part of a bid to bolster [[Glowstrike]]'s forces. When Thunderhoof brought up Steeljaw's past failures at leadership, Steeljaw informed the Decepticons of his alliance with Glowstrike, and gave them coordinates to follow while he remained at the scrapyard. The escapees later reconvened at Steeljaw's coordinates, where, along with the other newcomers, Clampdown was inspected by Glowstrike, although she seemed notably unimpressed with him as an "elite warrior". {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Portals-clampdown.jpg|thumb|right|200px|He's probably regretting putting Vicetopus DNA in [[Khyber|the Nemetrix]].]]

Clampdown gathered with Steeljaw's other followers on the roof of the Island, where he listened to Thunderhoof question Steeljaw's authority, and dryly informed the old mob boss that they listened to Steeljaw because he was "the boss". Steeljaw then arrived to update his gathered brethren about his plans to overthrow Glowstike, until she and [[Saberhorn]] arrived to talk with Steeljaw alone. {{storylink|Portals}}

[[File:DecepticonIslandP1Clampdown-Stammerthon.jpg|thumb|left|250px|What is a human doing here in the Realm of The Mon-just...just pick an eye, babe...I can't...concentrate...on what I'm saying. Just pick one. Pick ''one!'']]

Later, Clampdown was fleeing from [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] when he unexpectedly encountered Bumblebee's entire team. After a brief reunion with their old friend, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Ratchet captured Clampdown with no resistance. Back at the scrapyard, Bumblebee ordered [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] to take Clampdown out of Stasis for questioning. After being hammered with questions by Bumblebee's entire team, Clampdown's fear overtook him and he passed out, and he was soon re-imprisoned. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Clampdown's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

When the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] released Steeljaw from prison to keep Bumblebee and his team occupied while they made plans to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} Clampdown was also released with the promise of a full pardon should the Pack succeed in terminating the Bee Team. They returned to Earth where they mounted an assault on Denny's scrapyard that forced the Autobots out of their home. Clampdown made a brief attempt to separate Steeljaw and Thunderhoof when the two had a disagreement, before coming to his senses and just letting them go at it. The pack lured the Bee Team to the dam, where during the ensuing fight Clampdown fell victim to one of Grimlock's cannonballs and had Strongarm throw him into a malfunctioning generator. He then led the retreat which resulted in the Decepticons falling off the dam into the river. {{storylink|Exiles}} Spying Strongarm and Sideswipe arguing, Clampdown used a [[Light Bender]] to render a nearby cargo container invisible so they accidentally fell into it and became trapped. He then had to drag them back to the Decepticons' subway hideout and put up with their continued bickering to boot. Sent to find Fixit, he and [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]] had a section of subway dropped on them by the Mini-Con. They dug themselves out and managed to grab Fixit, however once the other Autobots freed themselves, the Decepticons were again forced to cut and run. {{storylink|Breathing Room}}

[[File:PrisonerPrinciples Clampdown towed.jpg|thumb|right|280px|This is what you get when you “borrow” Mrs. Puff’s hair curlers.]]
The pack gained new orders from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and were soon digging for nuclear waste at a disposal site. When the Autobots inevitably found their operation, Clampdown was ordered to keep working while the other Decepticons fought, and successfully found some fuel rods. The Decepticons made their escape, however the Autobots caught up with them in a warehouse and following a second fight, the Decepticons were forced to flee without the rods. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} During an attempt to tunnel into the nuclear plant, Clampdown was arrested by Strongarm and immediately blabbed the entire plan. He ended up handcuffed to Strongarm as she attempted to continue the Autobot's mission, and as a result his attempts at fleeing Thunderhoof, furious at his revealing their plan, were sorely hampered. He was then unceremoniously locked in a vault as the Bee Team continued in their attempt to thwart Steeljaw's plan, and the Autobots later had to rescue him when the power plant was in danger of melting down.

[[File:RID-clampdown.jpg|right|thumb|350px|oh no. crabes!]]

The skittering scumbag '''Clampdown''' is always looking to make a deal to save his own shell. Despite his impressive claw strength, he's a massive coward, always ready to run (sideways) for the hills, or failing that, squeal on others to the authorities in the hopes of weaseling out of punishment. He's not a warrior in any sense of the word and tends to panic when things go wrong. Unfortunately, he's been pressganged into working with [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]] after they saved his hide from the [[Autobot]]s. To make things worse, he's now forced to work alongside [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]], a fellow ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' escapee and a victim of Clampdown's big mouth.

Yeah, this is gonna go over ''real well''.

[[File:Clampdown-RID-13.jpg|thumb|left|250px||[[Clancy Brown|"These claws ain't just for attractin' mates!"]]]]

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Clampdown reported Thunderhoof's criminal enterprises to the authorities, leading to his arrest. Clampdown later tried to blackmail a member of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], which didn't go over as well. He was arrested and imprisoned on the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' and eventually escaped after the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. He went into hiding in the storm drains under [[Crown City]]. One night, he accidentally encountered a pair of [[human]] street racers, but frightened them off by trashing one of their cars from the shadows.

[[File:Sideways Clampdown vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Well Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam...]]

[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team attempted to arrest him in his sewer hideout, but the panicked crab managed to escape by tearing apart a main pipe, washing the Autobots away. As he left the sewer, he was approached by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had been watching him a while and invited him to his [[Steeljaw's Pack|group]]. Returning to Steeljaw's hideout, Clampdown failed to impress fellow refugees [[Underbite]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]]... and then Thunderhoof arrived. Uh-oh. Though Steeljaw tried to cut the hostilities short, Thunderhoof was having none of that and charged after the snitch. Clampdown fled with Thunderhoof in pursuit, Steeljaw chasing them both, and Underbite and Fracture following along (possibly out of morbid curiosity).

Both the Autobots and Decepticons found Clampdown hiding in a garbage dump, leading to a massive brawl. All of the Autobots were occupied by Steeljaw's gang, leaving Clampdown free to book it... and Thunderhoof free to chase. Clampdown was finally cornered in a water-drenched sinkhole, and in the struggle with Thunderhoof, they both slipped, bashing their heads together and knocking them both offline.

[[File:RID-steeljawsgang.jpg|left|250px|thumb|The sooner we find those Sailor Guardians, the sooner we can go to Dairy Queen.]]
The entire gang was put into [[stasis cuffs]], but Steeljaw was able to free himself and the others. Returning to their hideout, the other Decepticons were still very dubious about accepting Clampdown into their number, but Steeljaw assured them he'd convinced Clampdown to stay and stay loyal... because otherwise, he "wouldn't rest until I'd made him eat his own claws". {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

Clampdown joined the rest of the gang in spying on the scrapyard, then watched as Steeljaw recruited [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]] into the gang to serve as bait. With the Autobots distracted, the Decepticons broke into the Autobot base, intending to free the other Decepticons from their [[stasis pod]]s. Unfortunately, Steeljaw didn't count on their hostages [[Denny Clay|Denny]] and [[Russell Clay]] slipping free, and ordered Thunderhoof and Clampdown to go after them. The dysfunctional pair chased the [[human]]s through the scrapyard, and were tricked into riding a half-completed roller coaster. Clampdown managed to steer both Decepticons to safety at the last moment, and managed to recapture Denny. Before the Decepticons could complete their goal, the Autobots managed to retake the base, and Clampdown received a humiliating tail-thrashing from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. When the Decepticons reconvened at their base, Clampdown hid from a furious Steeljaw. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:Battlegroundspart1-stophurtingyourself.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Clampdown seen here auditioning for the surprised Mr. Krabs meme.]]
Since Steeljaw had paid lip service to [[The Fallen|a mysterious entity]], the gang worked to scavenge materials and construct a "gateway". Clampdown was tortured by the being and made to telekinetically pinch his own arm, much to Thunderhoof's amusement. Along with the other Decepticons and their Autobot hostages, he travelled to the [[Crown City Colossus]]. Clampdown managed to prevent Grimlock from destroying the archway early, allowing Steeljaw to activate the gate and summon Megatronus. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} While Megatronus dueled with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], the Decepticons decided to run for it, only to have their escape blocked by the other Autobots. In the ensuing melee, Clampdown was tackled and brought down by [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] and [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]]. After Megatronus was defeated, Clampdown was re-captured and placed inside a stasis pod. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

[[File:Misdirection-clampdown.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A winning smile.]]

After [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] broke into the scrapyard, he deactivated Clampdown's stasis pod, alongside several others, as part of a bid to bolster [[Glowstrike]]'s forces. When Thunderhoof brought up Steeljaw's past failures at leadership, Steeljaw informed the Decepticons of his alliance with Glowstrike, and gave them coordinates to follow while he remained at the scrapyard. The escapees later reconvened at Steeljaw's coordinates, where, along with the other newcomers, Clampdown was inspected by Glowstrike, although she seemed notably unimpressed with him as an "elite warrior". {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Portals-clampdown.jpg|thumb|right|200px|He's probably regretting putting Vicetopus DNA in [[Khyber|the Nemetrix]].]]

Clampdown gathered with Steeljaw's other followers on the roof of the Island, where he listened to Thunderhoof question Steeljaw's authority, and dryly informed the old mob boss that they listened to Steeljaw because he was "the boss". Steeljaw then arrived to update his gathered brethren about his plans to overthrow Glowstike, until she and [[Saberhorn]] arrived to talk with Steeljaw alone. {{storylink|Portals}}

[[File:DecepticonIslandP1Clampdown-Stammerthon.jpg|thumb|left|250px|What is a human doing here in the Realm of The Mon-just...just pick an eye, babe...I can't...concentrate...on what I'm saying. Just pick one. Pick ''one!'']]

Later, Clampdown was fleeing from [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] when he unexpectedly encountered Bumblebee's entire team. After a brief reunion with their old friend, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Ratchet captured Clampdown with no resistance. Back at the scrapyard, Bumblebee ordered [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] to take Clampdown out of Stasis for questioning. After being hammered with questions by Bumblebee's entire team, Clampdown's fear overtook him and he passed out, and he was soon re-imprisoned. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Clampdown's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

When the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] released Steeljaw from prison to keep Bumblebee and his team occupied while they made plans to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} Clampdown was also released with the promise of a full pardon should the Pack succeed in terminating the Bee Team. They returned to Earth where they mounted an assault on Denny's scrapyard that forced the Autobots out of their home. Clampdown made a brief attempt to separate Steeljaw and Thunderhoof when the two had a disagreement, before coming to his senses and just letting them go at it. The pack lured the Bee Team to the dam, where during the ensuing fight Clampdown fell victim to one of Grimlock's cannonballs and had Strongarm throw him into a malfunctioning generator. He then led the retreat which resulted in the Decepticons falling off the dam into the river. {{storylink|Exiles}} Spying Strongarm and Sideswipe arguing, Clampdown used a [[Light Bender]] to render a nearby cargo container invisible so they accidentally fell into it and became trapped. He then had to drag them back to the Decepticons' subway hideout and put up with their continued bickering to boot. Sent to find Fixit, he and [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]] had a section of subway dropped on them by the Mini-Con. They dug themselves out and managed to grab Fixit, however once the other Autobots freed themselves, the Decepticons were again forced to cut and run. {{storylink|Breathing Room}}

[[File:PrisonerPrinciples Clampdown towed.jpg|thumb|right|280px|This is what you get when you “borrow” Mrs. Puff’s hair curlers.]]
The pack gained new orders from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and were soon digging for nuclear waste at a disposal site. When the Autobots inevitably found their operation, Clampdown was ordered to keep working while the other Decepticons fought, and successfully found some fuel rods. The Decepticons made their escape, however the Autobots caught up with them in a warehouse and following a second fight, the Decepticons were forced to flee without the rods. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} During an attempt to tunnel into the nuclear plant, Clampdown was arrested by Strongarm and immediately blabbed the entire plan. He ended up handcuffed to Strongarm as she attempted to continue the Autobot's mission, and as a result his attempts at fleeing Thunderhoof, furious at his revealing their plan, were sorely hampered. He was then unceremoniously locked in a vault as the Bee Team continued in their attempt to thwart Steeljaw's plan, and the Autobots later had to rescue him when the power plant was in danger of melting down. He and the other members of the Pack were stuck in makeshift cells in the Autobots' cave. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}}

Clampdown and the rest of the captured Pack members were sealed away in stasis pods when the Autobots eventually returned to the scrapyard. {{storylink|Something He Ate}}

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Clampdown was among the Decepticons who were freed by Steeljaw and set to work mining [[energon]] for their new empire. When Team Bee turned up, Clampdown joined Fracture in attempting to fight Drift, however the [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] they'd been fighting alongside turned on them as a result of Steeljaw's deceit. A well-placed bomb brought the mountain down on Clampdown and his fellows, who were soon restored to stasis pods. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Legion Class toys, Clampdown transforms into a wood-paneled hatchback car. In robot mode, he can rest on his claws or on the small "tail" on his backside so he can actually stay upright on those dinky little crab-legs of his.

: His [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]] scan-badge is on his robot-mode left claw, which can be a bit tricky to scan while still in-package.

:This figure has been released twice: First in late 2015/early 2016 in the original ''Robots in Disguise'' packaging design, and then again in late 2016 in the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint packaging refresh.

: The TakaraTomy ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#TakaraTomy Adventure toyline|Adventure]]'' version of Clampdown is a [[redeco]] of the Legion Class Clampdown figure, replacing the original's black plastic with purple, plus his right claw is now mostly painted purple. While this does make him overall more show-accurate in robot mode, he is less so in car mode, as he has purple tires, a massive chunk of his rear passenger side is now purple, and he lacks the "wood panel" paint altogether. And his teeth are gray for some reason.

: Clampdown was only available as part of a, "[[EZ Collection]]" four-pack with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Adventure4pack|Optimus Prime]], [[Ratchet (WFC)#Adventure4pack|Ratchet]], and [[Drift (RID)#Adventure4pack|Drift]]. Man, he is ''screwed''. This set was released in the fifteenth wave of ''Adventure'' product.

:*''Pieces'': 10

: Part of the fourth and final wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figure toys —and the second wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' characters— Clampdown is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about five inches tall. His right claw is hinged for snippy-snappy action. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head (well, top of his head, at least), biceps, claw-arms, and legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations. Even freakier, his eye-stalks are removable, using the same peg-size as ''Hero Masher'' accessories, so you can pop them out and put them on any accessory mounting point.

: Clampdown's normal construction differs from all the humanoids in the entire line, in that his arms use ''two'' removable parts each instead of just one, and his legs only have a single piece each instead of two. This has confused the hell out of the ''Hero Mashers'' product photography team, who not only [[:File:RID2015-Hero-Mashers-Clampdown.jpg|put his biceps in the thigh position, but put ''all'' of his claws and legs on the wrong limbs]].

: The ''Robots in Disguise''-branded ''Hero Mashers'' did not see release in the US at first, with the first wave eventually hitting discount chains like TJ Maxx and Marshalls. However, wave 2 did not follow, leaving its only release in European markets.

:''Hammerstrike is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:RIDHammerstrike.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|[[John DiMaggio|No bars, no chains. Time for meat]].]]

Once [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s most feared pirate, '''Hammerstrike''' the Sharkticon harbors a deep contempt for anything above the waves. Pretty much everything about dry land offends him, and being forced to even set foot on it is a grievous insult. He'll suffer it to further his plans, but he'll complain about having the stink of land-dweller on him the whole time.

Naturally, in the water (or any viscous liquid), he's an absolute terror. Incredibly fast and agile, he strikes his targets quick and hard in submarine mode. Despite his hatred of land-based combat, he's an effective fighter on his feet as well, especially if there's some kind of slippery fluid on the ground that lets him slide around while his opponents struggle for balance.

[[File:Trust Exercises Hammerstrike vehicle mode.jpg|250px|thumb|left]]
After the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crashed on [[Earth]], Hammerstrike was freed from his [[stasis pod]] and took to the new planet's waterways. Intending to turn the sea into something approximating home, he attacked the oil tanker ''[[Windward]]''. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] came to the stricken tanker's aid. Grimlock attempted to take on Hammerstrike in the water, which turned out pretty bad for the [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]] as he couldn't swim. Bumblebee was barely able to get the upper hand, but the arrival of the Coast Guard provided a distraction, and Hammerstrike escaped.

Unwilling to give up, Hammerstrike went to a nearby oil refinery, hoping to release a massive oil spill. Bumblebee and Grimlock turned up there too, leading to a fight that coated the floor of the complex with oil. Though Hammerstrike was able to skate effortlessly on the slippery surface, some quick teamwork from his opponents got the Sharkticon pushed into a massive oil drum. After a good solid punch from Grimlock, the mighty pirate was then dumped into a stasis pod. {{storylink|Trust Exercises}}

Hammerstrike's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

You stand in the presence of greatness. The mighty queen '''Zizza''' has deemed you worthy of reading about her glorious self. You should feel fortunate, you filthy commoner. Bow in respect.

No? Oh, you ''will'' bow. If you won't do so willingly, then she'll simply inject you with her special mind-altering toxin, making you a thoroughly obedient slave to her will. No fear, no hesitation, only unwavering loyalty, unflinching in the face of death in service to the glorious Zizza, praise be to her.

On Cybertron, Zizza hypnotized numerous Cybertronians into doing her bidding. However, she failed to properly consolidate her power before the effects of her mind-control wore off, leading to her capture.

:''Hammerstrike is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:RIDHammerstrike.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|[[John DiMaggio|No bars, no chains. Time for meat]].]]

Once [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s most feared pirate, '''Hammerstrike''' the Sharkticon harbors a deep contempt for anything above the waves. Pretty much everything about dry land offends him, and being forced to even set foot on it is a grievous insult. He'll suffer it to further his plans, but he'll complain about having the stink of land-dweller on him the whole time.

Naturally, in the water (or any viscous liquid), he's an absolute terror. Incredibly fast and agile, he strikes his targets quick and hard in submarine mode. Despite his hatred of land-based combat, he's an effective fighter on his feet as well, especially if there's some kind of slippery fluid on the ground that lets him slide around while his opponents struggle for balance.

[[File:Trust Exercises Hammerstrike vehicle mode.jpg|250px|thumb|left]]
After the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crashed on [[Earth]], Hammerstrike was freed from his [[stasis pod]] and took to the new planet's waterways. Intending to turn the sea into something approximating home, he attacked the oil tanker ''[[Windward]]''. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] came to the stricken tanker's aid. Grimlock attempted to take on Hammerstrike in the water, which turned out pretty bad for the [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]] as he couldn't swim. Bumblebee was barely able to get the upper hand, but the arrival of the Coast Guard provided a distraction, and Hammerstrike escaped.

Unwilling to give up, Hammerstrike went to a nearby oil refinery, hoping to release a massive oil spill. Bumblebee and Grimlock turned up there too, leading to a fight that coated the floor of the complex with oil. Though Hammerstrike was able to skate effortlessly on the slippery surface, some quick teamwork from his opponents got the Sharkticon pushed into a massive oil drum. After a good solid punch from Grimlock, the mighty pirate was then dumped into a stasis pod. {{storylink|Trust Exercises}}

Hammerstrike's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

[[File:Brainpower-Simacore.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Now you might think it's ridiculous That me, a ''Gigantopithecus ''Would ever dream, I'd like to team With the likes of you, man-cub.'']]

Sneering and dismissive, the [[Orangucon]] '''Simacore''' ''knows'' that he's smart. This haughty [[Decepticon]] scientist sees no reason why he shouldn't lord his superior cerebration over the simpletons that dare to challenge his obvious intellectual superiority. If they were half as brilliant as he is, they wouldn't even think of competing against him in a test of brains or brawn. Unlike most eggheads, Simacore also boasts prodigious strength that goes hand-in-hand with a nasty temper, meaning that he's just as likely to pound your face in as he is to belittle your intelligence.

As a [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]], Simacore has formed a partnership with the equally conceited [[Mini-Con]]s [[Axiom (RID)|Axiom]] and [[Theorem]]. In spite of their frequent (well, ''constant'') bickering, they make ideal research assistants. If things get really, er, hairy, they're more than happy to serve as backup in a fight, distracting foes before Simacore lays the smackdown.

[[File:Brainpower-Simacorevehicle.jpg|left|thumb|300px|''But together we'd have powers. All the jungle's treasures ours. I got desire, you got the fire, But the dream I dream takes two.'']]

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Simacore was a famously temperamental scientist. After an experiment went wrong, he took his frustrations out on his colleagues, which resulted in his imprisonment aboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. When the ship crashed on [[Earth]], Simacore and his Mini-Cons escaped. To get back home, Simacore planned to build a starship. He broke into a particle research laboratory and stole a secondary control circuit from a particle accelerator. Before he could escape, he was confronted by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and a temporarily superintelligent [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]].

Simacore took advantage of Grimlock's newfound clumsiness to defeat him, then quickly clobbered Strongarm and Bumblebee before escaping. Realizing that Grimlock had made off with his circuitboard while he was preoccupied, he set off to confront the Dinobot, who had locked himself in an observation room. After realizing that he and his Mini-Cons were incapable of breaking through, Simacore took the other two Autobots hostage and magnetized them to a particle accelerator. With only a few minutes before the beam fired, Grimlock - who had been returned to his normal intellect, albeit temporarily immobilized- called Simacore to the observation room, where he intended to challenge the Decepticon to a contest of intelligence. Grimlock, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]], [[Denny Clay|Denny]], and [[Russell Clay|Russell]] managed to stall Simacore long enough for Grimlock to regain mobility, whereupon he flattened the Decepticon with his signature cannonball move. Simacore and his Mini-Cons were subsequently put back in a [[stasis pod]]. {{storylink|Brainpower}} Luckily for Simacore, the stasis pod turned out to be defective, and he was able to escape.

Locating [[Vertebreak (RID)|Vertebreak]]'s old lab in the subway tunnels under [[Crown City]], he started creating [[Mini-Clone|clones of his Mini-Cons]] until his activities were detected by the Autobots. His electric trap incapacitated Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe and Drift, but when he heard Grimlock nearby, he went to face the Dinobot, only to be met by Grimlock coming the other way at high speed. He pummeled the Dinobot who was reluctant to fight back, until Simacore revealed that he and Grimlock were arch enemies. At that point, Grimlock knocked him out. {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}}

Simacore's stasis pod was later taken aboard ''[[Prime Force One]]'' by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

[[File:RID-quillfire.jpg|thumb|350px|I'll get to the point, I'm a bit of a prick.]]

'''Quillfire''' is a Decepticon anarchist who took [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s call for social upheaval and ran with it. Considering himself the leader of his self-styled "revolution", Quillfire lashes out at anyone and anything he considers "authority", no matter how minor their control may be. Not terribly bright, he's loud, brash, and theatrical, inscribing his personal [[insignia]] on institutions that he's "liberated". He's full of bravado up until it looks like things are getting hairy, at which point he's ready to turn and run.

Which is when he's the most dangerous, actually. His primary weapon is a spray of quills fired from his back, usually as he's hoofing it away from the authorities. Aside from being sharp enough to pierce Cybertronian armor, his quills contain a toxin that has an unpredictable effect on his victim's nervous system. The effects are temporary, as the bot will revert to normal once the toxin's run its course, but this can last up to a few days.

[[File:BumblebeeSitting Quillfire vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|Looks like he scanned his vehicle mode from the same dealership as [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]].]]
Quillfire was among the Decepticons imprisoned aboard the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'', and was freed when the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. The [[Autobot]]s eventually detected his signal and made a bid to recapture him, however he led them on a chase through a carpark into a warehouse area, and succeeded in escaping after he nailed [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] with a quill.

[[File:BumblebeeSitting_Quillfire_pulling_the_tail_of_an_elephant.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1|SOUND THE TRUMPETS OF REVOLUTION!]]
He found his way to a carnival where he spotted a number of captive [[elephant]]s and set about liberating them from their oppressors. When the Autobots again turned up, Quillfire used one of his signatures to lure [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] onto a carnival ride, trapping them on it. He then sought a hiding place and entered a tent, only to find the floor was covered in bouncy material. Bumblebee, regressed to an immature state by his toxin, began causing him to bounce, and when Quillfire attempted to hit Bumblebee with more quills, the bouncing instead resulted in him being hit himself. Quillfire passed out and was subsequently captured. {{storylink|Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!}}

[[File:OneMiniConsMissing Springload suspicious of Quillfire.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|Dude, chill! I didn't take the last cream puff. Honest!]]
Quillfire was accidentally freed when [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]]'s escape pod crash-landed in the Autobot's scrapyard and damaged his [[stasis pod]]. Intending to spark a jailbreak and overthrow the Autobot oppressors, Quillfire managed to reactivate [[Springload (RID)|Springload]], who immediately re-embarked on his quixotic quest for [[Doradus]]. Quillfire won over the other Decepticon by pretending to be in touch with the "spirits", and persuaded Springload to come along with him. The duo managed to break into a [[human]] military base and commandeer an experimental tank; Quillfire assured his increasingly skeptical partner that the human contraption would carry them to Doradus. When the Autobots intervened, Quillfire and Springload were forced to fight against the far more agile Jetstorm and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]]. Springload wound up accidentally kicking Quillfire, who accused his partner of harming the leader of the revolution. Springload finally snapped and attacked him, and the two Decepticons began fighting, destroying the tank. Both of them tried to escape and were summarily recaptured. {{storylink|One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing}}

After [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] and his gang broke into the scrapyard, Quillfire's stasis pod was deactivated. He was quickly re-frozen by the Autobots before he could escape. {{Storylink|Lockout}}

When Steeljaw broke into the scrapyard a second time, he successfully deactivated Quillfire's stasis pod, alongside several others, as part of a bid to bolster [[Glowstrike]]'s forces. When [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] brought up Steeljaw's past failures at leadership, Steeljaw informed the Decepticons of his alliance with Glowstrike, and gave them coordinates to follow while he remained at the scrapyard. The escapees later reconvened at Steeljaw's coordinates, where they was inspected by Glowstrike, who seemed pleased by the new cadre of "[[Steeljaw's Pack|elite warriors]]". {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Impounded-deployerquillfire.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1|Vegeta! Look, more bald people.]]

Teamed with the Mini-Cons [[Back]] and [[Forth]], Quillfire was sent to [[Crown City]] to obtain supplies and proceeded to leave his insignia everywhere. Bumblebee and Strongarm found him raiding an auto parts store, but after a brief chase, he was able to take them out with his quills, knocking them unconscious and trapping them in their vehicle modes. He continued raiding stores, only to be found by Grimlock disguised as a crane. But the Dinobot was unused to his new disguise, and failed miserably in putting up a fight. Quillfire was forced to withdraw when the other Autobots arrived, but headed for a nearby truck stop to continue his scavenging. The Autobots caught up with him, and though he was able to evade Bumblebee and Strongarm, Grimlock's crane hook snagged him and he was later carted back to the scrapyard on Strongarm's trailer. {{storylink|Impounded}}

Quillfire's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

When the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] released Steeljaw from prison to keep Bumblebee and his team occupied while they made plans to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} Quillfire was also released with the promise of a full pardon should the Pack succeed in terminating the Bee Team. Returning to Earth, they mounted on assault on the scrapyard which drove out the Autobots, but lost track of where their quarry had gone. They lured the Autobots to the [[Crown City Dam]], and during the battle that followed, Quillfire was clobbered by Grimlock, causing one of his quills to jam a generator. After being zapped by the generator himself, Quillfire joined the other Decepticons in a retreat which ended with them plunging into the raging river. {{storylink|Exiles}}

[[File:PrisonerPrinciples Quillfire sticks around.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|''You’ll see, I’m their hero/I’ll be lionized'']]
Quillfire managed to locate and get the jump on Bumblebee, recording his capture of the Autobot leader before he dragged Bumblebee back to the subway which the Pack was using as a base. Steeljaw got him to use his quills to torture Bumblebee, but with the random effects the quills produced, they didn't get very far. The captured Autobots eventually got loose and the Pack were forced to retreat. {{storylink|Breathing Room}} Gaining new orders from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], the Pack headed to a waste disposal site so they could dig up radioactive substances. Despite interference from the Bee Team, they successfully found some waste, and when Quillfire interrupted another of Steeljaw and Thunderhoof's disagreements, Steeljaw tasked him with carrying the waste. He eventually got tired and stopped in a warehouse to ask someone else to carry the load, resulting in the Autobots catching up with him. During the ensuing fight, Steeljaw ordered him to knock down some acid, however he ended up being taken out by Sideswipe and the Decepticons once again retreated. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}}

Setting his sights on breaking into the nuclear power plant, Steeljaw set Quillfire and Clampdown to work digging a tunnel. When the Autobots found them, Quillfire managed to run past them and cave in the tunnel behind them. He rejoined Steeljaw, Thunderhoof and Underbite as they adopted camouflage so they could slip into the power plant directly. The Autobots again caught up with them, and Quillfire ended up pinned to the wall by his own quills. He was carried unconscious from the power plant when it was in danger of melting down, and later incarcerated in a makeshift cell in the Autobots' cave. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}}

When the Autobots returned to their scrapyard base, Quillfire and the other Decepticons were taken with them and reinstated in stasis pods. {{storylink|Something He Ate}}

: Part of the eighth wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' One-Step Changers, Quillfire transforms from robot to humvee with feet sticking out of the trunk. His transformation entails folding his undercarriage, which makes everything else unfold into place. He features articulation at his shoulders and is constantly looking downward.

: The scannable [[insignia]] badge on his hood temporarily unlocked this version of Quillfire as a playable character in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], and could only be scanned once per day. With the game now defunct, it obviously does not do so anymore.

: Quillfire can ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp & Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]], although this does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.

: This figure was released twice: first in late 2015/early 2016 under the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' [[subline imprint]], and then again in late 2016/early 2017 in the ''Combiner Force'' [[subline imprint]] packaging refresh.

:*''Accessories'': Blaster, quill

: Warrior Class Quillfire transforms from a porcupine-like robot into an off-road SUV. He includes a small non-firing blaster weapon which can be stored under the rear of his vehicle mode. He also comes with single large, removable quill which he can either hold in his hand or plug into his back, inside a solid-molded array of quills. His back-mounted quills are on a hinge so they can fit in his [[Packaging|blister card]]. He also features an articulated jaw, allowing you to simulate him running his big fool mouth. Sadly, he is missing his personal insignia on the hood / top of his head, though strangely enough, this insignia is present on his weapon instead.

: His scannable Decepticon insignia is centered on his chestplate. This badge is easily scannable while still in-package. His secondary stock photo erroneously depicts him having an [[:File:RID2015-Warrior-Class-Quillfire-Autobot-Badge.jpg|Autobot scan badge]].

Yay! However, despite having many more show-accurate details, Takara's Quillfire has gold eyebrows/jawline and brown thighs and arms, as opposed to his cartoon counterpart's gray (correct on the Hasbro version).

Chuck (AB)

Rubenaf16: /* As Energon Bumblebee */

{{factions|autobird|wreckers}}
{{disambig3|Chuck}}
:''Chuck is an [[Autobird]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Angry Birds Bumblebee Bird.png|thumb|250px|Come on, let's dance!]]

'''Chuck''' is the kind of bird who jumps into the fray first, and worries about the consequences later. Gung-ho, impatient, and overconfident, Chuck has often been the cause of [[Red (AB)|Red]]'s plans falling apart, despite his heart being in the right place. Unfortunately, Chuck's need to make up for his past screw-ups sends him hurling headlong into trouble, repeating the cycle all over again. To compensate, Chuck displays uncanny speed and sheer destructive potential, making him an asset to the [[Flock]] despite his personality flaws.

When upgraded by the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]], Chuck assumes the identity of '''[[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]] Bird''', '''[[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] Bird''', '''[[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] Bird''', and '''[[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] Bird''' In this new form. He displays a much more level-headed and responsible attitude... which honestly weirds out his teammates, who are unused to seeing him acting this way, especially [[Red (AB)|Red]]. His old mannerisms nonetheless still shine through when the situation becomes heated, proving that he's the same old Chuck despite his personality overhaul.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Chuckcharges.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Chuck accompanied his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. He managed to foul up [[Red (AB)|Red]]'s attack plan by rushing the attack, and accidentally caused the Bad Piggies' building to collapse. The Flock got buried in rubble while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. After [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb]] managed to get them out of the debris, Chuck sheepishly apologized to the others for his screw up. While [[Red (AB)|Red]] reprimanded Chuck for his foolishness, the [[Blues]] flew off after the pigs on their own. The Flock began searching for the three little birds, though both [[Terence (AB)|Terence]] and Chuck saw the task as a waste of time. The Blues managed the find their way back on their own, and began blabbing about an "EggSpark" and "[[Deceptihog]]s." Seeing an opportunity to redeem himself for his earlier screw-up, Chuck once more rushed ahead of the group.
[[File:Angry Birds Transformers issue 1 Bumblebee and Grimlock.jpg|240px|thumb]]
Coming upon the EggSpark and the upgraded Bad Piggies, Chuck found his flight-path obstructed by [[Hal]]. Unable to slow down in time, Chuck bumped into the other bird, and sent the both of them hurling towards the EggSpark. Contact with the artifact transformed Chuck into Bumblebee Bird, while Hal became Grimlock Bird. Bumblebee Bird's new form gave him a new outlook on things, and despite being surrounded by Deceptihogs, attempted to talk his way out of the situation. Megatron Pig wouldn't hear it, and began blasting away at the two [[Autobird]]s. Grimlock Bird managed to chase off the Deceptihogs, though they still had the Flock's eggs in their possession. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 BumblebeeBird transforms.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
The rest of the Flock then caught up to Bumblebee Bird. Red quickly became frustrated with Bumblebee Bird's strange new demeanor, and demanded why his friend was acting so strangely. Bumblebee Bird admitted that he only vaguely remembered his existence before becoming an Autobird, but still argued that the best course of action would be for the other birds to acquire robot bodies as well. He pointed out that the Deceptihogs were now in possession of powerful weapons and armor. The only way to combat them would be for the Flock to undergo the transformation themselves. To drive the point home, Bumblebee Bird showed off his ability to become a really cool car. Ultimately, the rest of the Flock agreed to touch the EggSpark. Under Optimus Prime Bird's command, the lot of them transformed and rolled out into action.

[[File:ABTF3 BumblebeeBird fullbody.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
When the Autobirds caught up to the Deceptihogs, Bumblebee Bird's former brash persona once more came to the forefront. He was unable to stop himself from charging the pigs by himself. This once more proved to be foolish, as he was beaten down by [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], and trampled by Megatron Pig. The clobbering he received damaged Bumblebee Bird's vocal processor, forcing him to communicate in beeps and squeaks from that point on. The rest of the Autobirds then joined in the fight, finding themselves evenly-matched against their opponents. The squabble was interrupted when the Flock's eggs, which had previously been exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

The two factions joined forces against the newly arisen threat. Their truce was a shaky one, however, with Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig soon arguing with one another on the battlefield. Bumblebee Bird agreed with Grimlock Bird that the argument was an entertaining one. Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and the birds/pigs alliance redoubled their efforts to drive the Eggbots back. Unfortunately, with the EggSpark still in contact with Piggy Island, the land itself was becoming increasingly unstable and dangerous. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4BluesandChuckargue.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8]]
Bumblebee Bird and Heatwave Bird were the ones that came up with the solution to end the madness: simply separate the EggSpark from Piggy Island, halting the artifact's influence. Bumblebee Bird's part in the task ahead was to run interference against the Eggbots while the others made their way to the EggSpark. But the plan went awry when both [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] and [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] betrayed the group. The EggSpark was now in Starscream Pig's possession, who planed to use its power for his own selfish goals. Bumblebee Bird stepped in at that point, and using a giant slingshot, hurled both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Piggy Island and all of its inhabitants then returned to normalcy. As the Flock reflected on the day's events, Chuck claimed he had gained the coolest form, and that he had saved the day all by himself. The Blues disagreed. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

[[File:DHvsAB-Autobirdscharge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Bumblebee Bird helped Optimus Prime Bird track down the Deceptihogs wherever they hid! Though he was once very competitive, after his transformation into an Autobird, Bumblebee Bird only wants to be liked. Nobody knows why he only speaks in radio instead of squawking. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Soundwave Pig planned to smash Bumblebee Bird's car mode to pieces with a sonic weapon. Bumblebee Bird managed to avoid the attack by speeding away. Bumblebee Bird later participated in a great big clash against the Deceptihogs in the middle of a desert. He faced off against Lockdown Pig. The Autobirds came out victorious thanks to their superior cunning and strength! {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}
{{-}}

==Commercial appearances==
Chuck got turned into Bumblebee Bird by the power of the EggSpark. He readied himself to face off against the Deceptihogs, only to find himself surrounded by turrets, recently Cyberformed by the Eggbots. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces, and began blowing up the turrets before chasing away the Eggbots and driving off into the distance. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers: Cinematic Trailer}}

Bumblebee Bird showed off his sweet dance moves and sharp-shooting skills to the sound of some techno music. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Chuck as Bumblebee}}

Bumblebee Bird faced off against a swarm of Flying Pigbots, barely dodging their rapid fire. As he looked around for an escape route he spotted... Heatwave Bird, relaxing in a hammock and nursing a pineapple drink. Bumblebee Bird asked for his help, but Heatwave Bird was uninterested... until a stray shot destroyed the little umbrella in his drink. Bumblebee Bird held his friend's drink as Heatwave Bird took out the pigs with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

Heatwave Bird and Bumblebee Bird were driving along when... HEY! Someone recorded over the rest of this VHS tape with some game footage! {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Meet Bluestreak and Prowl!}}

*''Unlock Type'': New Area (70 pigs) TelePod

Bumblebee Bird is the first character to be freed from his glass prison. In contrast to the balanced Optimus Prime Bird, Bumblebee Bird's more about speed than defense, and is easily one of the fastest characters in the game; in vehicle mode he can actually outrace [[Missile silo|missiles]], getting out of their range. Like Chuck in the classic ''Angry Birds'' game, his missiles can destroy wood blocks with ease, but they're weak against glass. However, upgrading his weapon will rectify that weakness. He also used to have infinite ammo as well, but this was removed in an update. Boo!
Also unlike Optimus, he can only shoot six missiles at a time before having to reload, though this is as quick as the time between shots.

Oh. Wait a sec. That's right. If some people who've played the game for a long time might be wondering, he might also be the only probable character to be 'buffed' by recent updates in the entire game- as evident by his present weapon, which fires the same missiles but with an in-built incendiary upgrade. Blocks (specifically gold and wood) and pigs upon eating these missiles will additionally burn with a lime-green flame and take damage over time. Not one of the so-called 'weakest' Autobirds anymore!

The Eggspark created another Bumblebee Bird in inverted stealth colors, which caused some tensions between him and the original. He has higher overall stats, especially in the speed department, and shoots his missiles very rapidly, but with longer reload. As a Variant Version character, he gets double coins from completed events, but gets nothing if he fails.

And a bit of bad news. His high rate of missile fire comes at a price- his incendiary effects. Oops.

====As Rodimus====
[[File:Rodimus-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squads'': '''The Hotrods, The Wreckers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': In-app purchase, Challenge Event Prize
Who would have thought that a Bumblebee would be redecoed as a Rodimus? As both [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] and Chuck are headstrong and impatient, they go quite well together! It took the Autobirds a quite a while to find him because he's always moving.

Appropriately enough, his weapon shoots fireballs that burn targets over time, much more quickly than the incendiary rounds of Bumblebee and many others. The flames spread quickly to wood and glass and breaks them, but does poorly against stone.

He was first available during the Black Friday sale in 2015, in the Fire Bundle which also contained 250,000 coins and 100 gems, at the actually quite low price of $3.99. (Among the other offers at that time were accessory bundles and discounted gems.) And for those who didn't want to ''buy'' a new character, almost a year later he and his accessories were available as a the main prize during the "You've Got the Touch" challenge event, also celebrating the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Codes to unlock Rodimus were also distributed by developer [[Exient]] at the TF Nation 2016 fan convention. He also appears in a bundle which can be bought when a new save is made for the game and usually only lasts for about a week before disappearing (although the bundle apears again when you go offline but can't be purchased).

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
The energon version of Bumblebee has a different weapon surprisingly, firing three simultaneous plain missiles at varying angles. And of course, following the trend, he can collect energon cubes to heal himself, but is more susceptible to damage as a result. Yeah, not much to say.

This evil version of Rodimus fires dark energy projectiles, which explode with an aura that pushes away any block or pig that happens to be too close. Be wary! He's done many evil things, but the most evil? Being in a squad where his placement makes no sense.

*''Squad'': '''The Iconic Transformers'''

A new (or old...?) version of Bumblebee with a Volkswagen Beetle vehicle mode, "in honor of [[Bumblebee (film)|his new movie]]?." He fires one energy bullet at a time that looks similar to [[Moustache Pig#As Barricade|Barricade]]'s weapon, but this one makes blocks and pigs fly up and then fall back to the ground at great speed. Needless to say, this does not go well for the block/pig in question.

Cliffjumper is one powerful warrior. His intimidating red paint and long sharp bull horns are very well known to scare off Deceptihogs easily, as well as his catchphrase: “Let me at ‘em!” Cliffjumper fires a salvo of missiles that fly to the target in a very wobbly way. And boy, are they destructive!

He was available in the event of the same name in October 2019, for the prize of 10000 Tokens.

====As Cosmos====
[[File:CosmosBird.jpeg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''Reinforcements'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an alien angry bird/transformer hybrid with guns! [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] is Chuck's newest incarnation in the game, and a real extraterrestrial one! Cosmos can reach velocities high enough to get him to space, where he often just looks around for any Eggbot activities. Did you know most of the map nodes are actually there because that guy detected them? Way to go, Star-Lord!

His weapon is a single green or purple taser bullet that, similar to [[Chuck (AB)#As Classic Bumblebee|Classic Bumblebee]]'s weapon, rockets pigs and blocks up in the air. The only thing that really makes Cosmos’ weapon different from Classic Bumblebee's, is that it doesn't overheat. And if that weren't enough already, this Autobird has a vehicle-mode special ability. Upon seeing Cosmos’ flying saucer form, the piggies will be baffled by this bizarre appearance and they'll completely lose their aim for as long as that thing is flying around. Useful for when you're at low health and just need to cut and run!

Cosmos was one of the 3 new characters added in the 2.0 update, along with [[Red (AB)|General Optimus Prime]] and [[King Pig|Lord Megatron]].

With destructive Scout Brawl on the loose, the Autobirds need help from the equally... ''unpredictable'' Scout Cliffjumper. Here's hoping they won't just level the entire island in their battle.

His weapon’s effect is pretty similar to his original one. Just a reminder that people actually pay money to get a version of him with just a few battle scars and the same weapon.

==Notes==
* [[wikia:angrybirds:Chuck|Chuck]] is one of the 'protagonists' of the ''{{w|Angry Birds}}'' franchise.
* [[Deven Mack]] voiced him in the ''Summer Maddness'' animated series, while in the Japanese dub of ''The Angry Birds Movie'' and its sequel, Chuck is voiced by [[Anri Katsu]].
* Chuck's design for Bumblebee is loosely based on [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s design from the movies, primarily from [[Transformers (film)|the first movie]]. His High-Octane Bumblebee, on the other hand, is based on the undercover deco in [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]] and pretty much every [[black repaint]] of Bumblebee ever. His Classic Bumblebee takes inspiration from the [[Bumblebee (G1)|original G1 namesake]] like the VW Beetle vehicle mode and the small horns; but he's been released on [[Calendar|December]] [[2018]] [[Bumblebee (film)|so....]]
* Chuck-as-Cliffjumper continues the popular trend of a red repaint of Bumblebee, the Classic Bumblebee to be precise.
* Chuck-as-Cosmos gives him a similar design to the traditional Cosmos look, but he uses the same mannerisms/animation set as [[Silver (AB)|Silver]]. Funny enough, in the second ''Angry Birds'' movie, Silver is Chuck's sister.

:''Minion Pigs are [[Bad Piggies]] and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig joined his leader on his plot to poach the EggBots. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

Starscream Pig was part of a crazy dance party at the Deceptihogs' headquarters, where they used the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots pestered Bumblebee Bird, raining down laser blasts onto him.

*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (900 pigs), TelePod

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

The arrival of the first [[Rainmaker]] in action. As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

For some reason, they decided to add the basic version of Starscream ''after'' the energon variant. This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

Sunstorm launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level- since he would rather prefer to dismember himself and rocket off into oblivion. Just like every other Combiner in the game, oh yes.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of eight (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====

*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does... if you're playing as Cyclonus. He doesn't quake in vehicle mode if he's your call-in partner, but at least he defaults to his mega laser as your Eggbot-bashing buddy.

*''Squad'': '''Coneheads'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires clips of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to bleed health over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction and damages them at the same time, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. AND, they retain the same treachously tranquilizing EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only possibly mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

Another Rainmaker arrives in the form of [[Ion Storm]]. His weapon is similar to [[Ironhide]]'s; it quickly rains down three lime colored diagonal beams on the powerless piggies.

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm (yes, yet again) to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Although it's unknown as to why the game depicts Nova as a 'male' as per her squad biodata. But anyways.

As the last ever Rainmaker to be released in the game (and also original character), Nova Storm's weapon is a blue water bullet blaster that specializes in displacing the blocks of structures and any piggy bystander. These shots can cause even more misery with their splash damage effects. Additionally, upon higher upgrades, these water bullets upgrade to large purple ones, and towers and pigs on screen will simply blast out of oblivion upon getting touched by them.

His weapon acts just like his original.

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach, like in events), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px|Who could it be now? *Sax*]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

Doing so repairs in-game Energon Starscream's damage, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

: He was only available as part of a multi-pack with "Energon" versions of [[Red (AB)|Optimus Prime Bird]], [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]], [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]] and [[Chef Pig|Soundwave Pig]].

==Notes==
*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)
* [[Tony Hale]] voiced a Minion Pig called '''[[wikia:angrybirds:Ross|Ross]]''' in the 2016 ''Angry Birds'' animated movie.
* Rather than being added to the game separately, all three Coneheads were added at the same time.
* Minion Pig is currently the character with the most incarnations in the game, even when not counting the Eggbot Army.
* All of the Minion Pigs (except one) use edited versions of Ross' Bad Piggies voicelines.

[[File:ABTF4 BluesordersPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=2.1]]
:''The Blues are [[Autobird]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].

The three young and excitable '''Blues''', individually named '''Jay''', '''Jake''', and '''Jim''', (good luck telling which one is which, they are always seen together), often act in unison, finishing each others' sentences, and sharing the same goofy, giddy, childish attitude. It is of no surprise then, that when the EggSpark gave the members of the [[Flock]] robotic bodies, that the Blues wound up sharing their new upgraded form, based on [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] and [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]]. Silly and sarcastic, the trio are always up for some trouble, which can lead to a little bit of personality clash with their new robot bodies, particularly the uptight Prowl and the pacifist Beachcomber.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF2 BluesUseless.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.7]]
The Blues joined the rest of the Flock in a raid on one of the [[Bad Piggies]]' buildings. As the Flock prepared to get their eggs back, [[Red (AB)|Red]] and [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] began to argue on how to proceed. The Blues to commented that they should be fighting pigs, and not each other. Due to Chuck's impatience, the Flock's attack went badly. The Blues wound up buried in rubble while the pigs made their getaway, the eggs still in their possession. Tired of the bigger birds' constant bickering, the Blues went off on their own, winding up crossing paths with [[Hal]]. They convinced the older bird to join them in another attempt to rescue the eggs. As the group approached the pigs, they were taken aback by [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] zipping past them. Figuring something big was going down, Hal urged the Blues to go fetch the rest of the Flock while he stayed behind to keep an eye on [[King Pig]] and his gang. The Blues did as the were told, and told Red and the others about what they had witnessed. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

Hal and Chuck flew ahead of the group, and when the Blues had caught back up to them, the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]] had transformed them into Grimlock Bird and Bumblebee Bird respectively. The Flock puzzled over the artifact and the mysterious changes their friends had just undergone. Grimlock Bird had a sudden angry outburst, and declared the other Birds to be "useless." The Blues took offense, and expressed their confusion over their friend's sudden change in personality. Grimlock Bird insisted that birds who couldn't transform were useless, and to prove his point, changed into... a sort of "wheelbarrow" mode. The Blues were unimpressed, saying that a motorcycle mode would have been much more useful. Losing his temper once more, Grimlock Bird spewed forth a torrent of flame, causing the Blues to recoil in fear. Bumblebee Bird did a better job in demonstrating his ability to transform, and the rest of the flock agreed to touch the EggSpark to grant themselves robotic bodies.

[[File:Angry Birds Transformers Issue 2 Bluestreak Gets Beaten By Pigs.jpg|thumb|ARGH!!!]]
The three Blues wound up sharing one body as "Bluestreak Bird." The rest of the Flock/Autobirds then [[Introdump|compulsively began to deliver exposition over who they were and what their personalities were like]], which immediately got on Bluestreak Bird's nerves. On Optimus Prime Bird's command, the whole group transformed and rolled out, and shortly caught up to the Deceptihogs. Rushing into battle, Bumblebee Bird received serious damage to his vocal processor, forcing him to communicate in beeps and squeaks. Bluestreak Bird remarked that Bumblebee Bird's new way of communicating was "gonna get old fast." The battle was soon fully underway, with Bluestreak Bird having to contend with three Minion Pigs at once. However, both sides had to put aside their differences when the eggs sprouted robotic arms and legs, began multiplying, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 Bluesvehicle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left]]
The two factions joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, but Bluestreak Bird did not adjust well to working alongside the pigs. Nonetheless, and despite initially griping over it, they agreed to help rescue Starscream Pig after he had been captured by the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]]. They only wound up being captured themselves, bound by the same robotic tentacles that had stolen away the Deceptihog.

Finding themselves imprisoned next to Starscream Pig, Bluestreak Bird began to cry. Starscream Pig managed to console them, and with newfound strength, Bluestreak Bird broke free of their bonds. Slumping Starscream Pig over their shoulder, Bluestreak Bird began poking around the structure they were being held captive in. Just as they were commenting that things were suddenly too quiet, they stumbled upon an army of creepy EggBots lying in wait, dropped the pig, and made a run for it. Eventually, they found their way to the outside, and met back up with the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4BluesandChuckargue.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
As the EggSpark continued to affect Piggy Island in more volatile ways, Bluestreak Bird participated in one last desperate dash to separate the artifact from the land. For his part in the mission, Bluestreak Bird was joined by three mechanically upgraded Minion Pigs. At the first sign of danger, the pigs abandoned Bluestreak Bird on the battlefield, and let him be squashed by a monolith. They soon came to regret their actions, and returned to excavate Bluestreak Bird out of the pile of rubble he was buried under. Bluestreak Bird was quick to forgive the pigs, and resumed course to fetch a "secret weapon..." A giant slingshot! With the device in tow, Bluestreak Bird and the Pigs rendezvoused with the others. Unfortunately, in his absence, Galvatron Pig had become even more volatile and irrational than he normally was. The deranged Deceptihog knocked out Bluestreak Bird with a powerful blow. Nonetheless, the Autobirds' plan worked out despite Bluestreak Bird's absence. The EggSpark was catapulted away from the planet, and the Autobirds reverted back into their original forms. As the Flock reflected on the day's events, the Blues and Chuck began to argue over who was more responsible for their final victory. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

====As Bluestreak====
[[File:Bluestreak-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px|Putting the Blue in this Bluestreak.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Mission Prize, Special Event Prize

A middle-of-the-road bot in terms of speed, Bluestreak has a little time to pick his targets. Which is good, because his weapon has only two shots in it and a pretty slow reload time, so choose those targets wisely. Bluestreak's weapon draws from The Blues' normal method of attack, firing a single bomb that explodes into three smaller bombs on contact with the target... and at higher character levels, ''those'' bombs will split again if they hit a block or enemy. These mini-bombs arc out pretty wide, and in a cluster of blocks or pigs can really do significant damage. The best strategy is to aim at the base of block towers, letting the upward-arcing sub-bombs tear through everything above.

At first, Bluestreak Bird could only be unlocked semi-randomly by sending characters away on Space Bridge Missions: Bluestreak would sometimes appear as part of the roulette wheel of prizes for the longest time of 48 hours at a Mission Bridge. Later, Bluestreak would become an unlockable character in the "You've Got The Touch" special event (running from [[August 13]] through [[August 19]], 2016). This event involved surviving the onslaught of [[Unicron Pig]], with big points to be earned by forcing him to put up his shields, and even more for sending him packing.

One would think the impulsive, gabby Blues wouldn't get along well with the quiet, contemplative mind of Prowl. One would be so right. The inclination to plan to the smallest detail runs headlong (ha ha) into the Blues' low boredom threshold. The only time the four minds really seem to gel is in a fight.

Prowl Bird is very similar to Bluestreak in his attacks, though he has a slightly larger clip, allowing him to launch three bombs before needing a reload. The mini-bombs don't have quite as wide an arc though, so the splash damage is a bit more localized, especially since they also lack the second split of Bluestreak's bombs.

At first, Prowl Bird could only be unlocked semi-randomly by sending characters away on Space Bridge Missions: Prowl would sometimes appear as part of the roulette wheel of prizes for the longest mission at a Bridge. Later, Prowl would also become an unlockable character in the "You've Got The Touch" challenge event.

====As Smokescreen====
[[File:Smokescreen-Bird.jpg|thumb|Testing. Testing.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize

: As The Blues are a precocious, eager-to-please and reckless bunch, they match very well with Smokescreen... no, not the [[Smokescreen (G1)|one they look like]]... the other one. [[Smokescreen (Prime)|That one]].

: Smokescreen, like the other Blues-based characters, lobs fast clips of lone arcing bombs with no reload to damage targets. These bombs splits into two smaller bombs that falls directly downwards on impact. These bombs also erupt into huge clouds of smoke, which one may assume throws off enemies' targeting skills, but they actually work like Acid Storm Pig's projectiles in both fire rate and effect. But smoke breaks glass more effectively than acid. He's a slow runner with only moderate vehicle speed.

:First unlocked in the 2017 "Chinese New Year" Challenge Event, Smokescreen costs 5000 Tokens, considerably less than the last few new characters.

The Blues don’t really fit Beachcomber's pacifist personality, as they are more troublesome tricksters.

Anyway, it seems to be working, because Beachcomber's weapon is a slightly altered version of Smokescreen's; instead it fires clips of two bombs that spread out in curved arcs over long distances. These bombs unfortunately lack the ability to split and cause additional damage. And instead of smoke, these bombs explode into sand that simply reuse the numbing effects of Acid Storm's pellets. Alas.

After their defeat at the hands of [[Minion Pig#As Captain Starscream|Captain Starscream]] in the attempt to get the Eggspark, the Autobirds find themselves being chased by the vile [[Chef Pig#As Major Shockwave|Major Shockwave]]. They are counting on Major Prowl and his smart strategic moves and explosive abilities to exterminate any possible dangers, so [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime|General Optimus]] sends him ahead while the other Autobirds follow. What they don’t know however is that Major Shockwave possesses the abilities to hijack the Autobird comms, tricking Major Prowl and the rest of the flock into rendezvousing at the pigs' place of choosing...

Major Prowl’s weapon kinda combines Beachcomber’s and Smokescreen’s arsenals: three quick and destructive minibombs with, in a row horizontally and diagonally, (one per shot), a sand effect, a smoke effect, and no effect.

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
As the Autobirds' defenses start failing once more, [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|Optimus Prime]] re-energizes his staunch soldier Prowl with the power of Neon and orders him to deploy a comms blackout. This way, the birds can stay out of the Deceptihogs' vile hooves while they gather new resources and tend to their wounded. It is only a matter of time though before the devious [[Chef Pig#As Neon Soundwave|Neon Soundwave]] hacks their location and the Autobirds need to make a run for it all over again. But even in that scenario, Neon Prowl will be ready to shield his peers until the very end.

Neon Prowl uses pretty much the exact same weapon as his earlier War Pass incarnation. Daring today, aren't we? Besides that, Neon Prowl experiences Energon effects in levels, meaning that he can't take as much of a punch but can heal himself by collecting that sweet sweet [[Energon]] on the field.

Despite being a Prime Pass character, which usually means you have to pay a proper large sum of money for getting to try and massacre enough pigs to unlock him, all players could get him for free near the end of the season thanks to a programming error: in the tie-in challenge event, players could first unlock Neon Soundwave ''for free'', after which they could buy his [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] accessory to unlock the Prime Pass, also free of charge. Yowza!

==Notes==
*Like [[Stella (AB)|Stella-as-Arcee]] and [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb-as-Drift]], The Blues' depiction in media predates their actual appearance in the game, and thus the designs are significantly different. ''Way'' moreso than with Arcee, probably due to having three heads to try and figure out what to do with. Their vehicle mode in the comics resembles [[Prowl (Animated)|''Animated'' Prowl]]'s motorcycle mode.
**In game, they all share the headspace, while in the comics they only had the dominant Blue as the head (presumably Jay) and the other brothers (presumably Jake and Jim) as the legs.
*The Blues' Launcher Accessories have significant cosmetic differences between each character. Prowl's are closely based on the [[Prowl (G1)/toys|original Prowl toy's launchers]]. Bluestreak's are similar, they take inspiration from the [[Bluestreak (G1)#Generation_1_cartoon_continuity|Bluestreak cartoon model]] by putting a hole in the tip as if they were cannons. Smokescreen too uses the cartoon model launchers, which were significantly different in design from Bluestreak's.
* Smokescreen is blatantly designed after Generation 1 Smokescreen, but his in-game bio describes his personality as that of [[Smokescreen (Prime)|''Prime'' Smokescreen]]... complete with the use of the [[Phase shifter]] relic.
*Beachcomber is one of the very few characters in the game to have a vehicle-specific accessory, a roll cage, in reference to the [[Beachcomber (G1)|traditional]] look for him.
** On top of that, The Blues shared personality barely fits Beachcomber as they are more prankster-type birds than pacifists.

It is of no surprise then, that when the EggSpark gave the members of the [[Flock]] robotic bodies, that the Blues wound up sharing their new upgraded form, based on [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] and [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]]. Silly and sarcastic, the trio are always up for some trouble, which can lead to a little bit of personality clash with their new robot bodies, particularly the uptight Prowl and the pacifist Beachcomber.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF2 BluesUseless.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.7]]
The Blues joined the rest of the Flock in a raid on one of the [[Bad Piggies]]' buildings. As the Flock prepared to get their eggs back, [[Red (AB)|Red]] and [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] began to argue on how to proceed. The Blues to commented that they should be fighting pigs, and not each other. Due to Chuck's impatience, the Flock's attack went badly. The Blues wound up buried in rubble while the pigs made their getaway, the eggs still in their possession. Tired of the bigger birds' constant bickering, the Blues went off on their own, winding up crossing paths with [[Hal]]. They convinced the older bird to join them in another attempt to rescue the eggs. As the group approached the pigs, they were taken aback by [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] zipping past them. Figuring something big was going down, Hal urged the Blues to go fetch the rest of the Flock while he stayed behind to keep an eye on [[King Pig]] and his gang. The Blues did as the were told, and told Red and the others about what they had witnessed. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

Hal and Chuck flew ahead of the group, and when the Blues had caught back up to them, the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]] had transformed them into Grimlock Bird and Bumblebee Bird respectively. The Flock puzzled over the artifact and the mysterious changes their friends had just undergone. Grimlock Bird had a sudden angry outburst, and declared the other Birds to be "useless." The Blues took offense, and expressed their confusion over their friend's sudden change in personality. Grimlock Bird insisted that birds who couldn't transform were useless, and to prove his point, changed into... a sort of "wheelbarrow" mode. The Blues were unimpressed, saying that a motorcycle mode would have been much more useful. Losing his temper once more, Grimlock Bird spewed forth a torrent of flame, causing the Blues to recoil in fear. Bumblebee Bird did a better job in demonstrating his ability to transform, and the rest of the flock agreed to touch the EggSpark to grant themselves robotic bodies.

[[File:Angry Birds Transformers Issue 2 Bluestreak Gets Beaten By Pigs.jpg|thumb|ARGH!!!]]
The three Blues wound up sharing one body as "Bluestreak Bird." The rest of the Flock/Autobirds then [[Introdump|compulsively began to deliver exposition over who they were and what their personalities were like]], which immediately got on Bluestreak Bird's nerves. On Optimus Prime Bird's command, the whole group transformed and rolled out, and shortly caught up to the Deceptihogs. Rushing into battle, Bumblebee Bird received serious damage to his vocal processor, forcing him to communicate in beeps and squeaks. Bluestreak Bird remarked that Bumblebee Bird's new way of communicating was "gonna get old fast." The battle was soon fully underway, with Bluestreak Bird having to contend with three Minion Pigs at once. However, both sides had to put aside their differences when the eggs sprouted robotic arms and legs, began multiplying, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 Bluesvehicle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left]]
The two factions joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, but Bluestreak Bird did not adjust well to working alongside the pigs. Nonetheless, and despite initially griping over it, they agreed to help rescue Starscream Pig after he had been captured by the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]]. They only wound up being captured themselves, bound by the same robotic tentacles that had stolen away the Deceptihog.

Finding themselves imprisoned next to Starscream Pig, Bluestreak Bird began to cry. Starscream Pig managed to console them, and with newfound strength, Bluestreak Bird broke free of their bonds. Slumping Starscream Pig over their shoulder, Bluestreak Bird began poking around the structure they were being held captive in. Just as they were commenting that things were suddenly too quiet, they stumbled upon an army of creepy EggBots lying in wait, dropped the pig, and made a run for it. Eventually, they found their way to the outside, and met back up with the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4BluesandChuckargue.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
As the EggSpark continued to affect Piggy Island in more volatile ways, Bluestreak Bird participated in one last desperate dash to separate the artifact from the land. For his part in the mission, Bluestreak Bird was joined by three mechanically upgraded Minion Pigs. At the first sign of danger, the pigs abandoned Bluestreak Bird on the battlefield, and let him be squashed by a monolith. They soon came to regret their actions, and returned to excavate Bluestreak Bird out of the pile of rubble he was buried under. Bluestreak Bird was quick to forgive the pigs, and resumed course to fetch a "secret weapon..." A giant slingshot! With the device in tow, Bluestreak Bird and the Pigs rendezvoused with the others. Unfortunately, in his absence, Galvatron Pig had become even more volatile and irrational than he normally was. The deranged Deceptihog knocked out Bluestreak Bird with a powerful blow. Nonetheless, the Autobirds' plan worked out despite Bluestreak Bird's absence. The EggSpark was catapulted away from the planet, and the Autobirds reverted back into their original forms. As the Flock reflected on the day's events, the Blues and Chuck began to argue over who was more responsible for their final victory. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

====As Bluestreak====
[[File:Bluestreak-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px|Putting the Blue in this Bluestreak.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Mission Prize, Special Event Prize

A middle-of-the-road bot in terms of speed, Bluestreak has a little time to pick his targets. Which is good, because his weapon has only two shots in it and a pretty slow reload time, so choose those targets wisely. Bluestreak's weapon draws from The Blues' normal method of attack, firing a single bomb that explodes into three smaller bombs on contact with the target... and at higher character levels, ''those'' bombs will split again if they hit a block or enemy. These mini-bombs arc out pretty wide, and in a cluster of blocks or pigs can really do significant damage. The best strategy is to aim at the base of block towers, letting the upward-arcing sub-bombs tear through everything above.

At first, Bluestreak Bird could only be unlocked semi-randomly by sending characters away on Space Bridge Missions: Bluestreak would sometimes appear as part of the roulette wheel of prizes for the longest time of 48 hours at a Mission Bridge. Later, Bluestreak would become an unlockable character in the "You've Got The Touch" special event (running from [[August 13]] through [[August 19]], 2016). This event involved surviving the onslaught of [[Unicron Pig]], with big points to be earned by forcing him to put up his shields, and even more for sending him packing.

====As Prowl====

*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Mission Prize, Special Event Prize

One would think the impulsive, gabby Blues wouldn't get along well with the quiet, contemplative mind of Prowl. One would be so right. The inclination to plan to the smallest detail runs headlong (ha ha) into the Blues' low boredom threshold. The only time the four minds really seem to gel is in a fight.

Prowl Bird is very similar to Bluestreak in his attacks, though he has a slightly larger clip, allowing him to launch three bombs before needing a reload. The mini-bombs don't have quite as wide an arc though, so the splash damage is a bit more localized, especially since they also lack the second split of Bluestreak's bombs.

At first, Prowl Bird could only be unlocked semi-randomly by sending characters away on Space Bridge Missions: Prowl would sometimes appear as part of the roulette wheel of prizes for the longest mission at a Bridge. Later, Prowl would also become an unlockable character in the "You've Got The Touch" challenge event.

====As Smokescreen====
[[File:Smokescreen-Bird.jpg|thumb|Testing. Testing.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize

: As The Blues are a precocious, eager-to-please and reckless bunch, they match very well with Smokescreen... no, not the [[Smokescreen (G1)|one they look like]]... the other one. [[Smokescreen (Prime)|That one]].

: Smokescreen, like the other Blues-based characters, lobs fast clips of lone arcing bombs with no reload to damage targets. These bombs splits into two smaller bombs that falls directly downwards on impact. These bombs also erupt into huge clouds of smoke, which one may assume throws off enemies' targeting skills, but they actually work like Acid Storm Pig's projectiles in both fire rate and effect. But smoke breaks glass more effectively than acid. He's a slow runner with only moderate vehicle speed.

:First unlocked in the 2017 "Chinese New Year" Challenge Event, Smokescreen costs 5000 Tokens, considerably less than the last few new characters.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize
The Blues don’t really fit Beachcomber's pacifist personality, as they are more troublesome tricksters.

Anyway, it seems to be working, because Beachcomber's weapon is a slightly altered version of Smokescreen's; instead it fires clips of two bombs that spread out in curved arcs over long distances. These bombs unfortunately lack the ability to split and cause additional damage. And instead of smoke, these bombs utilize sand that simply obey Acid Storm's numbing effects. Alas.

After their defeat at the hands of [[Minion Pig#As Captain Starscream|Captain Starscream]] in the attempt to get the Eggspark, the Autobirds find themselves being chased by the vile [[Chef Pig#As Major Shockwave|Major Shockwave]]. They are counting on Major Prowl and his smart strategic moves and explosive abilities to exterminate any possible dangers, so [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime|General Optimus]] sends him ahead while the other Autobirds follow. What they don’t know however is that Major Shockwave possesses the abilities to hijack the Autobird comms, tricking Major Prowl and the rest of the flock into rendezvousing at the pigs' place of choosing...

Major Prowl’s weapon kinda combines Beachcomber’s and Smokescreen’s arsenals: three quick and destructive minibombs with, in a row horizontally and diagonally, (one per shot), a sand effect, a smoke effect, and no effect.

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
As the Autobirds' defenses start failing once more, [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|Optimus Prime]] re-energizes his staunch soldier Prowl with the power of Neon and orders him to deploy a comms blackout. This way, the birds can stay out of the Deceptihogs' vile hooves while they gather new resources and tend to their wounded. It is only a matter of time though before the devious [[Chef Pig#As Neon Soundwave|Neon Soundwave]] hacks their location and the Autobirds need to make a run for it all over again. But even in that scenario, Neon Prowl will be ready to shield his peers until the very end.

Neon Prowl uses pretty much the exact same weapon as his earlier War Pass incarnation. Daring today, aren't we? Besides that, Neon Prowl experiences Energon effects in levels, meaning that he can't take as much of a punch but can heal himself by collecting that sweet sweet [[Energon]] on the field.

Despite being a Prime Pass character, which usually means you have to pay a proper large sum of money for getting to try and massacre enough pigs to unlock him, all players could get him for free near the end of the season thanks to a programming error: in the tie-in challenge event, players could first unlock Neon Soundwave ''for free'', after which they could buy his [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] accessory to unlock the Prime Pass, also free of charge. Yowza!

==Notes==
*Like [[Stella (AB)|Stella-as-Arcee]] and [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb-as-Drift]], The Blues' depiction in media predates their actual appearance in the game, and thus the designs are significantly different. ''Way'' moreso than with Arcee, probably due to having three heads to try and figure out what to do with. Their vehicle mode in the comics resembles [[Prowl (Animated)|''Animated'' Prowl]]'s motorcycle mode.
**In game, they all share the headspace, while in the comics they only had the dominant Blue as the head (presumably Jay) and the other brothers (presumably Jake and Jim) as the legs.
*The Blues' Launcher Accessories have significant cosmetic differences between each character. Prowl's are closely based on the [[Prowl (G1)/toys|original Prowl toy's launchers]]. Bluestreak's are similar, they take inspiration from the [[Bluestreak (G1)#Generation_1_cartoon_continuity|Bluestreak cartoon model]] by putting a hole in the tip as if they were cannons. Smokescreen too uses the cartoon model launchers, which were significantly different in design from Bluestreak's.
* Smokescreen is blatantly designed after Generation 1 Smokescreen, but his in-game bio describes his personality as that of [[Smokescreen (Prime)|''Prime'' Smokescreen]]... complete with the use of the [[Phase shifter]] relic.
*Beachcomber is one of the very few characters in the game to have a vehicle-specific accessory, a roll cage, in reference to the [[Beachcomber (G1)|traditional]] look for him.
** On top of that, The Blues shared personality barely fits Beachcomber as they are more prankster-type birds than pacifists.

Bluestreak Bird was quick to forgive the pigs, and resumed course to fetch a "secret weapon..." A giant slingshot! With the device in tow, Bluestreak Bird and the Pigs rendezvoused with the others. Unfortunately, in his absence, Galvatron Pig had become even more volatile and irrational than he normally was. The deranged Deceptihog knocked out Bluestreak Bird with a powerful blow. Nonetheless, the Autobirds' plan worked out despite Bluestreak Bird's absence. The EggSpark was catapulted away from the planet, and the Autobirds reverted back into their original forms. As the Flock reflected on the day's events, the Blues and Chuck began to argue over who was more responsible for their final victory. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

====As Bluestreak====
[[File:Bluestreak-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px|Putting the Blue in this Bluestreak.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Mission Prize, Special Event Prize

A middle-of-the-road bot in terms of speed, Bluestreak has a little time to pick his targets. Which is good, because his weapon has only two shots in it and a pretty slow reload time, so choose those targets wisely. Bluestreak's weapon draws from The Blues' normal method of attack, firing a single bomb that explodes into three smaller bombs on contact with the target... and at higher character levels, ''those'' bombs will split again if they hit a block or enemy. These mini-bombs arc out pretty wide, and in a cluster of blocks or pigs can really do significant damage. The best strategy is to aim at the base of block towers, letting the upward-arcing sub-bombs tear through everything above.

At first, Bluestreak Bird could only be unlocked semi-randomly by sending characters away on Space Bridge Missions: Bluestreak would sometimes appear as part of the roulette wheel of prizes for the longest time of 48 hours at a Mission Bridge. Later, Bluestreak would become an unlockable character in the "You've Got The Touch" special event (running from [[August 13]] through [[August 19]], 2016). This event involved surviving the onslaught of [[Unicron Pig]], with big points to be earned by forcing him to put up his shields, and even more for sending him packing.

====As Prowl====
[[File:Prowl-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px|Bit of a shame the owl's (Dahlia’s) only in ''Angry Birds Stella''.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Mission Prize, Special Event Prize

One would think the impulsive, gabby Blues wouldn't get along well with the quiet, contemplative mind of Prowl. One would be so right. The inclination to plan to the smallest detail runs headlong (ha ha) into the Blues' low boredom threshold. The only time the four minds really seem to gel is in a fight.

Prowl Bird is very similar to Bluestreak in his attacks, though he has a slightly larger clip, allowing him to launch three bombs before needing a reload. The mini-bombs don't have quite as wide an arc though, so the splash damage is a bit more localized, especially since they also lack the second split of Bluestreak's bombs.

At first, Prowl Bird could only be unlocked semi-randomly by sending characters away on Space Bridge Missions: Prowl would sometimes appear as part of the roulette wheel of prizes for the longest mission at a Bridge. Later, Prowl would also become an unlockable character in the "You've Got The Touch" challenge event.

====As Smokescreen====
[[File:Smokescreen-Bird.jpg|thumb|Testing. Testing.]]
*''Squad'': '''Brothers In Armor'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize

: As The Blues are a precocious, eager-to-please and reckless bunch, they match very well with Smokescreen... no, not the [[Smokescreen (G1)|one they look like]]... the other one. [[Smokescreen (Prime)|That one]].

: Smokescreen, like the other Blues-based characters, lobs arcing bombs to damage targets. These bombs splits into two smaller bombs that falls directly downwards on impact. These bombs also erupt into huge clouds of smoke, which one may assume throws off enemies' targeting skills, but they actually work like Acid Storm Pig's projectiles in both fire rate and effect. But smoke breaks glass more effectively than acid. He's a slow runner with only moderate vehicle speed.

:First unlocked in the 2017 "Chinese New Year" Challenge Event, Smokescreen costs 5000 Tokens, considerably less than the last few new characters.

The Blues don’t really fit Beachcomber's pacifist personality, as they are more troublesome tricksters. Anyway, it seems to be working, because Beachcomber fires arced missiles like Sunstorm, but which release sand similar to Smokescreen. Yowza.

After their defeat at the hands of [[Minion Pig#As Captain Starscream|Captain Starscream]] in the attempt to get the Eggspark, the Autobirds find themselves being chased by the vile [[Chef Pig#As Major Shockwave|Major Shockwave]]. They are counting on Major Prowl and his smart strategic moves and explosive abilities to exterminate any possible dangers, so [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime|General Optimus]] sends him ahead while the other Autobirds follow. What they don’t know however is that Major Shockwave possesses the abilities to hijack the Autobird comms, tricking Major Prowl and the rest of the flock into rendezvousing at the pigs' place of choosing...

Major Prowl’s weapon kinda combines Beachcomber’s and Smokescreen’s arsenals: three quick and destructive minibombs with, in a row horizontally and diagonally, (one per shot), a sand effect, a smoke effect, and no effect.

*''Squad'': '''Cobalt Crew'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
As the Autobirds' defenses start failing once more, [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|Optimus Prime]] re-energizes his staunch soldier Prowl with the power of Neon and orders him to deploy a comms blackout. This way, the birds can stay out of the Deceptihogs' vile hooves while they gather new resources and tend to their wounded. It is only a matter of time though before the devious [[Chef Pig#As Neon Soundwave|Neon Soundwave]] hacks their location and the Autobirds need to make a run for it all over again. But even in that scenario, Neon Prowl will be ready to shield his peers until the very end.

Neon Prowl uses pretty much the exact same weapon as his earlier War Pass incarnation. Daring today, aren't we? Besides that, Neon Prowl experiences Energon effects in levels, meaning that he can't take as much of a punch but can heal himself by collecting that sweet sweet [[Energon]] on the field.

Despite being a Prime Pass character, which usually means you have to pay a proper large sum of money for getting to try and massacre enough pigs to unlock him, all players could get him for free near the end of the season thanks to a programming error: in the tie-in challenge event, players could first unlock Neon Soundwave ''for free'', after which they could buy his [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] accessory to unlock the Prime Pass, also free of charge. Yowza!

==Notes==
*Like [[Stella (AB)|Stella-as-Arcee]] and [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb-as-Drift]], The Blues' depiction in media predates their actual appearance in the game, and thus the designs are significantly different. ''Way'' moreso than with Arcee, probably due to having three heads to try and figure out what to do with. Their vehicle mode in the comics resembles [[Prowl (Animated)|''Animated'' Prowl]]'s motorcycle mode.
**In game, they all share the headspace, while in the comics they only had the dominant Blue as the head (presumably Jay) and the other brothers (presumably Jake and Jim) as the legs.
*The Blues' Launcher Accessories have significant cosmetic differences between each character. Prowl's are closely based on the [[Prowl (G1)/toys|original Prowl toy's launchers]]. Bluestreak's are similar, they take inspiration from the [[Bluestreak (G1)#Generation_1_cartoon_continuity|Bluestreak cartoon model]] by putting a hole in the tip as if they were cannons. Smokescreen too uses the cartoon model launchers, which were significantly different in design from Bluestreak's.
* Smokescreen is blatantly designed after Generation 1 Smokescreen, but his in-game bio describes his personality as that of [[Smokescreen (Prime)|''Prime'' Smokescreen]]... complete with the use of the [[Phase shifter]] relic.
*Beachcomber is one of the very few characters in the game to have a vehicle-specific accessory, a roll cage, in reference to the [[Beachcomber (G1)|traditional]] look for him.
** On top of that, The Blues shared personality barely fits Beachcomber as they are more prankster-type birds than pacifists.

{{factions|autobird|deceptihog}}
:''Hal is an [[Autobird]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Model-grimlock.png|thumb|250px|right|"This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it."]]

'''Hal''' is as easy-going as they come. He enjoys a life of solitude, strumming mellow tunes on his banjo. Though he has little interest in conflict, he is not one to stand idly by when he sees someone in peril. However, when he becomes upgraded into '''[[Grimlock (disambiguation)|Grimlock]] Bird''' by the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]], he receives a complete personality overhaul to go along with his robotic body. In this new form, Grimlock Bird is aggressive, foul-tempered, selfish and... somewhat dim-witted. He also begins peppering his speech with "Me Grimlock Bird" with aggravating frequency. All of this comes in exchange for a brutal increase in physical strength and a devastating fire-breath attack. Grimlock Bird is all too happy to use both of these against the [[Deceptihog]]s and anything else that threatens either the [[Flock]] or their eggs.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Hal slow down.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
[[File:ABTF2-GrimlockBirdGardener.jpg|right|thumb]]
Hal was happily playing his banjo by his lonesome when the three [[Blues]] came upon him. The three little birds informed him that they were planning on stopping the [[Bad Piggies]] on their own, prompting Hal to join them out of a sense of responsibility. When they came upon [[King Pig]] and his minions, they were startled by [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] zipping past them. Hiding behind a bush, Hal warned the Blues that something big was going down, and sent them off to fetch the rest of the [[Flock]]. As the Blues flew off, Hal witnessed the rest of the Bad Piggies touch the EggSpark to upgrade themselves into [[Deceptihog]]s. [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] was the first bird to rejoin Hal. But the yellow bird came in too fast, knocking both himself and Hal into the EggSpark, and transforming them into Bumblebee Bird and Grimlock Bird respectively. Grimlock Bird's transformation changed his personality completely; no longer the laid-back easygoing bird he once was, he now hungered for combat and violence. He managed to push Bumblebee Bird out of the way after the Deceptihogs sent forth their first attack volley, and then became enraged that the pigs had attempted to hurt his friend. [[File:ABTF1 GrimlockBird vehiclemode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]] Transforming and unleashing a torrent of flame, he sent the Deceptihogs fleeing, though only after causing the Flock's eggs to be exposed the the EggSpark's energies. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

The rest of the Flock then came upon the two Autobirds. A display of Grimlock Bird's newfound short temper greatly upset the Blues. Grimlock Bird informed the trio that he believed that any bird incapable of transforming was "useless." To make his point, he transformed into... a sort of "wheelbarrow mode." The Blues were unimpressed, stating that a motorcycle form would be much more useful. Grimlock Bird lost his temper once more, stating that he was still getting the hang of transforming. He then ran off to take care of the Deceptihogs on his own. [[File:ABTF2 GrimlockBird standstill.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]] Following the pigs' tracks, he came upon the tower that his quarry was hiding in. He burst in, trampling [[Chef Pig|Soundwave Pig]] and headbutting [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] in the process. He was then knocked out by a bump on the noggin', courtesy of [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]]. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

By the time Grimlock Bird regained consciousness, the Autobirds and Deceptihogs had joined forces in order to combat an even greater threat; the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s, running wild all over [[Piggy Island]]. He tackled this new foe with renewed vigor. The Autobirds' and the Deceptihogs' alliance was a shaky one however. Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig were soon arguing with one another on the battlefield. Grimlock Bird agreed with Bumblebee Bird that the argument was an entertaining one. Once cooler heads prevailed, the fight against the Eggbots began anew. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}} But the EggSpark's influence on Piggy Island began to spiral out of control, forcing the Autobirds to change objectives once more. In order to restore normalcy to Piggy Island, they had to separate the artifact from the land itself. [[File:ABTF4 Halbanjo.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]] Grimlock Bird was put in charge of keeping the volatile Galvatron Pig restrained while the pigs and the birds made a desperate dash towards the EggSpark's location. At a crucial juncture, Galvatron Pig broke free of his bonds and knocked Grimlock Bird aside. Things got even more complicated when [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] seized the EggSpark for himself, intending to use its power for his own selfish goals. Grimlock Bird teamed up with Soundwave Pig to take out Galvatron Pig, while Bumblebee Bird managed to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. The island and its inhabitants then reverted to their original forms. Hal had no memory of his time as Grimlock Bird, and was baffled when the other birds informed him of how he had acted. He then entertained [[Terence (AB)|Terence]], [[Bubbles]] and [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb]] with some tunes from his banjo. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

*''Unlock Type'': New Area (1000 pigs) TelePod

This first of the Grimlock variants to unlock, Grey Slam Grimlock actually used to be just Grimlock, but in Deceptihogs' Revenge he was changed- presumably to look more like his [[Grimlock (AOE)|movie]] look. Grey Slam Grimlock gives [[Terence (AB)|Terence]] a stroll for his money in the slowness department. Even in cycle mode, Grimlock is a slowpoke. But like Terence, he's heavily armored, and his firepower is intimidating. His weapon is an electric-breath blast that strikes its target instantly (unless something gets in the way), making it very effective for taking out [[missile silo|missiles]]. The blast will persist until the target is destroyed or you choose a new target. However, if Grimlock keeps exhaling electricity for too long, he'll overheat, leaving him without a weapon for a few seconds. Watch for the targeter to glow red, a warning that you should lay off the laser. A mix of precision blasts and sweeping strikes can devastate towers in short order.

[[File:Energon-Grimlock-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''Energon Fueled'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (<s>1250</s> 2200 pigs) TelePod

The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. Energon Grimlock has a pretty dang good turn of speed compared to the other versions, and his electric breath is absolutely ''devastating'' in its power, able to take out [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s with relative ease. Unfortunately, he also overheats ''much'' faster than the others, requiring more frequent breaks between blasts, otherwise he's left defenseless for several seconds. If he attacks again immediately after his weapon cools down, he is only capable of a very short-duration burst, needing a few ''more'' seconds to recharge for a longer blast.

As with all Energon variants, he takes extra damage from enemy attacks, but can heal damage in levels by absorbing energon cubes from de-cyberformed scenery.

====As Goldbite Grimlock====
[[File:Goldbite-Grimlock-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''Variant Versions'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (<s>2000</s> 2800 pigs) TelePod

:Goldbite Grimlock packs a lot of raw power into his frame. He's still slow as frick, but he's stronger and better-armored than Grey Slam. Also, his breath can actually push blocks and pigs off their towers. Yowza.

:As an "Ultimate" Variant Version character, Goldbite Grimmers gets an additional 100% Coin bonus at the end of any level. Combined with his slow speed giving you ample time to eliminate every block, Pig and missile in your path (even more missiles at 30 Coins a whack since they fire at timed intervals regardless of character speed), an extra 100% Coin bonus for a complete Squad (Goldbite is the final member of that squad to unlock), ''then'' doubling all of that by watching an ad, you can ''really'' rack up a huge Coin score, potentially earning tens of thousands of Coins in a single run... especially if you add [[Goldbrick]] or [[Goldslam]] into the mix. Buuuuuuuut, if Goldbite fails a level, he gets no Coins whatsoever.

====As Trypticon====
[[File:Trypticon-Bird.jpg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens)

Trypticon (which ''very'' loosely means "Oops. I just accidentally stepped on that." in Latin) is louder, hungrier, and stompier than the Autobird he was redecoed from, but not bigger like you'd think.

His weapon is a hybrid between the Grimlocks and the [[King Pig|Megatrons]]. He spits out black holes continuously until his weapon overheats. The holes aren't nearly as strong as the Megatrons, but the sheer number makes up for that.

Trypticon came stomping in in the late April 2017 event "Ultimate Weapon" at an even higher ''10000'' token cost. But in addition to the recent increased tokens in challenges, this competition awarded more tokens to a wider bracket of players, so it was not that ludicrous. Unfortunately, the other new characters that followed went back to the old leaderboard scoring.

Trypticon's IAP bundle set the newest inflated trend for new character bundles, containing the new character, 550-600 gems, 6000 Spark, and one unique accessory for around $35.

*''Squad'': '''Gestalt'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem purchase (750)
The last original [[Combiner]] to be added to the game (at the time of this writing), [[Volcanicus (POTP)|Volcanicus]] is, with all due respect, nothing to write home about. He does not have a special ability in place of his absent vehicle mode, first of all. His weapon is a combination of Grimlock's and [[Stella (AB)#As Novastar|Novastar's]] of all people, firing a rather ineffective golden instant-hit beam as primary weapon and slow, spiraling and flaming bubbles as secondary, the latter of which does most of the damage. The slow nature of his weapons and absence of decent protective options cause Volcanicus to take considerably large amounts of damage before he can properly return the gift of pain and destruction himself. Hardly a fraction of the fearsome brutality that the OG Volcanicus stands for.

*'''Energon Racers Pack''' (''Telepods'' Racers multi-pack, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

: As a [[Telepod]] figure, Energon Grimlock Bird [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from dino-vehicle-thing to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down. He has a scan-code on the bottom of his feet, which allows him to be scanned into the ''[[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]]'' app when placed on top of a magnifying Telepods base, included with the set. Doing so repairs in-game Energon Grimlock's damage, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

: He was only available as part of a multi-pack with "Energon" versions of [[Red (AB)#EnergonTelepod|Optimus Prime Bird]], [[Moustache Pig#EnergonTelepod|Lockdown Pig]], [[Chef Pig#EnergonTelepod|Soundwave Pig]], and [[Minion Pig#Toys|Starscream Pig]].

{{-}}{{anchor|GreySlamTelepod}}
*'''Gray Slam Grimlock Bird''' (Telepods Racer, 2015)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

:Part of the "Deceptihogs' Revenge" wave of individual Telepods figures, Grey Slam Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of the Energon version based vaguely on the in-game variant of the character.

{{-}}{{anchor|BumblebeeBlast}}
*'''Bumblebee Bird Blast''' (Game set, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

:This set includes TelePod figurines for High Octane Bumblebee and Goldbite Grimlock. The accessory included is a massive Bumblebee which, when a character in vehicle mode drives into it, they pop out from vehicle mode.

{{-}}{{anchor|OptimusPrimeAttack}}
[[File:ABTF-toy Grimlock Jenga.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|]]
*'''Optimus Prime Attack Game''' (''Jenga'' game set, 2014)

: This ''[[Jenga]]'' set is centered around a large "Grimlock Bird" frame, with blocks stacked (loosely) inside the tummy section. Players then use the included "slingshot" launcher and ramp to propel their Autobird or Deceptihog of choice into the frame to knock out as many blocks as possible, as well as the included [[Minion Pig#OptimusAttack|Starscream and Stinger Pigs]], meant to sit in small gaps in the blocks.

: This set also included vehicle bodies for [[Red (AB)#OptimusAttack|Optimus Prime Bird]] and [[Corporal Pig#OptimusPrimeAttack|Galvatron Pig]], each with detachable soft-plastic heads for use with the actual slingshot portion of the launcher, or other launchers and vehicles in the toyline.

: It also included a code on a slip of paper that could be used to unlock "Jenga mode" in the app for free, but eventually the ability to use a code to unlock it was removed, making it a feature you had to pay $15 to unlock, which is '''''absolutely not worth the money'''''.

==Notes==
[[File:ABTF-TFTM.jpg|150px|thumb]]
*[[wikia:angrybirds:Hal|Hal]] is one of the 'protagonists' of the ''{{w|Angry Birds}}'' franchise.
*Hal-as-Grimlock is quite different from the original Grimlock in the sense that he is constantly in Dino-mode, sprouting wheels from his legs and chest cavity when switching to vehicle mode.
**There is however a piece of promotional art, among other things used as the cover for the game's soundtrack, in which Grimlock is depicted as a humanoid body with the known and loved Hal perched on top as the head.
* With the debut of Trypticon, Hal became the first member of the Flock to become a Deceptihog! Though Nemesis Prime and Airachnid are evil clones, they were still at least classified as Autobirds.
**[[Zeta (AB)|Zeta]] would be the second member to be a Deceptihog, but that makes a lot more sense.
* Hal-as-Volcanicus' design is based on his ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars|Earth Wars]]'' design, another Transformers mobile game.

:''Minion Pigs are Bad Piggies and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

When the Allspark Egg crashed into Piggy Island, its hordes of Minion pigs were granted Cybertronic armor.

[[File:Thundercracker-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (900 pigs) TelePod

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

====As Acid Storm====

*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

The arrival of the first [[Rainmaker]] in action. As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

====As Starscream====

*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

Sunstorm launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level. Instead like every other Combiner in the game, he dismembers himself and rockets off along with Astrotrain.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of six (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====

*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires clips of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to suffer damage over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction and damages them at the same time, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. AND, they retain the same stunning EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

Another Rainmaker arrives in the form of [[Ion Storm]]. His weapon is similar to [[Ironhide]]'s; it quickly rains down three lime colored diagonal beams on the powerless piggies. And to harness the power of storms even more, his beams are juiced with EMP effects. Wish an early prayer for all Walking Mortar Towers and piggies alike....

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm (yes, yet again) to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Although it's unknown as to why the game depicts Nova as a 'male' as per her squad biodata.

As the last ever Rainmaker to be released in the game, Nova Storm's weapon is a blue water bullet blaster that specializes in displacing the blocks of structures and any piggy bystander. These shots can cause even more misery with their splash damage effects. Additionally, upon higher upgrades, these water bullets upgrade to large purple ones, and towers and pigs on screen will simply blast out of oblivion upon getting touched by them.

His weapon acts just like his original.

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader.

Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.

It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The blue TNT thrower still remains with him, though.
{{-}}

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach, like in events), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)
* [[Tony Hale]] voiced a Minion Pig called '''[[wikia:angrybirds:Ross|Ross]]''' in the 2016 ''Angry Birds'' animated movie.

:''The Chef Pig is a [[Deceptihog]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Model-soundwave.png|thumb|250px|Snoutwave superior, [[Minion Pig|Constructihogs]] inferior]]

[[King Pig]] and his minions are always hungry for some tasty eggs... And '''Chef Pig''' is the go-to pig for changing the stolen eggs into delicious meals! He is somewhat snooty, but is also one of the more level-headed of the [[Bad Piggies]]. After being upgraded by the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]] into '''[[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] Pig''', and '''[[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]] Pig''', he has become very analytically-minded, or can be insane as '''[[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] Pig''', but he has picked up the tendency to talk in short, simple sentences. With his newfound hands he has been given the frightening and awesome power to twirl his mustache, something he now does all the time.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 ChefPig yes you do.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
Chef Pig was about to cook up some eggs when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building, and the [[Bad Piggies]] were forced to flee. Chef Pig was sure to bring the eggs along, though. As they ran, King Pig began to think out loud on how he would like to eat the eggs. To cover up for a rude remark he had made in response, Chef Pig pointed at a plume of smoke rising up in the distance. Venturing towards the smoke, the Pigs stumbled upon the EggSpark. Thinking that the artifact might be used as an "egg-cooker," King Pig ordered Chef Pig to figure out how to use it. The cook passed the task on to one of the Minion Pigs hauling King Pig's throne, and shoved him into the EggSpark. Upon making contact, the Minion became "Starscream Pig." The rest of the pigs touched the artifact, and Chef Pig became Soundwave Pig! The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. In the struggle that followed, Soundwave Pig accidentally allowed the eggs to come into contact with the EggSpark. He quickly recollected them and the Deceptihogs fled. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 SoundwavePig twirls.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
As the Deceptihogs began to argue between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Thanks to Galvatron Pig's reckless actions, they then became trapped within the structure. As the Deceptihogs were puzzling out the fact that the tower's appearance was a result of the EggSpark's ongoing influence on [[Piggy Island]], Grimlock Bird attacked them once more. Soundwave Pig was knocked down and lost his grasp on the eggs yet again. After Grimlock Bird's defeat, Soundwave Pig was about to inform Megatron Pig that the eggs had been exposed to the EggSpark's transformative energies, when the rest of the Autobirds turned up. In the scuffle that followed, Soundwave Pig teamed up with Megatron Pig to take on [[Bubbles|Jazz Bird]]. The fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF4 SoundwavePig fights.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to fight this newly arisen threat, though Soundwave Pig did little more than twirl his moustache while the others gave their all in combat. Soundwave Pig and Megatron Pig also tried to scheme together to seize power (and an egg dinner) in the battle's aftermath, but they were overheard by [[Red (AB)|Optimus Prime Bird]]. Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird nearly broke their alliance, and had to be talked down by Soundwave Pig and [[Stella (AB)|Arcee Bird]]. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs agreed that they needed to change tactics if they hoped to stop Piggy Island from destroying itself. Soundwave Pig was assigned to a group tasked with capturing an Eggbot for study. His scheming nature won out once more however, as he allowed his teammates to be surrounded by giant Eggbots while he stood back and twirled his moustache again. [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] made short work of them, and then hauled Soundwave Pig back to meet with the others. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4 SoundwavePig has the answer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|right]]
As Piggy Island's transformation spiraled out of control, Soundwave Pig came up with a final solution to stop the metamorphosis; all they needed to do is separate the EggSpark from the land. As the pigs and the birds made mad dash for the EggSpark, Soundwave Pig helped fend off the increasingly aggressive Eggbots. But as the EggSpark came within reach, [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] went berserk and began attacking all those in his way, regardless of faction. Things were further complicated when Starscream Pig grabbed hold of the EggSpark for himself, intending to use its power for his own selfish goals. Soundwave Pig and Grimlock Bird stepped in to hold back Galvatron Pig while Bumblebee Bird launched both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Everything then returned to the way it was before the EggSpark had landed on Piggy Island. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, Chef Pig had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Soundwave Pig joined his leader in his plot to poach all the EggBots to eat them! They were thwarted by Optimus Prime Bird and his troops. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Despite Megatron Pig believing that Soundwave Pig is his most loyal soldier, Soundwave Pig spends his spare time spying on his leader. He once attempted to smash Bumblebee Bird to pieces using a powerful audio weapon. Bumblebee Bird drove away before Soundwave Pig's weapon could have its intended effect however. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

====As Soundwave====
*''Squad'': '''Instruments of Destruction'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (100/150 pigs) TelePod

Soundwave Pig is not too quick on his feet, and his slow-flying sonic-wave blaster is a one-shot affair with a significant pause between shots. This makes him pretty lousy against flying foes (especially missiles, which he has to hit at close range to have any hope of taking them out), and absolutely miserable against tough foes like [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s, since the initial impact isn't even that strong... but oh, the splash effect on impact. The sonic boom when the sound bubble hits its target can be absolutely ''devastating'' at higher levels, obliterating entire block structures -even stone blocks- in a wide range instantly, especially once upgraded with the proper Accessories, leaving the damaged Bad Piggies hanging in midair until they pop on the now-empty ground below. This actually makes this a good weapon against large swarms of flying Pigs, as while the central target will only be partially hurt, the splash effect will pop most ''other'' pigs in range instantly.

This makes Soundwave an ideal choice for any block-busting-based Challenge Event to rack up big scores... but you'd best back him up with someone good at taking out foes, especially in the case of an unexpected [[Boss Pig]] or [[Unicron Pig]] encounter.

*''Unlock Type'': New Area (800 pigs) TelePod

At first, Soundblaster seems like a much better choice than Soundwave, since he launches three sound-bubbles (with enough upgrades this changes to five) in a wide horizontal swath at a slightly faster fire rate, and he does more damage to enemies with each blast. This certainly helps him take on small groups of flying foes a lot easier. However, these bubbles lack Soundwave's ridiculous splash damage effect, both in strength and range, being less effective against tougher blocks. But it still lets him cut a pretty wide swath of destruction, especially against towers not yet on-screen as the rightmost sonic waves go hurtling away from the central attack angle.

*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (1250 pigs) TelePod

After numerous mishaps with [[energon cube]]s resulting in him getting knocked around as others got energon-boosted, Soundwave ''finally'' got an energon-infused form... in a fight with himself as Soundblaster. Just go with it.

Energon Soundwave puts a lot more focused power into his attacks than his other iterations. He fires two sonic-waves in rapid succession, which do pretty significant damage to the main target, but don't have the ''oomph'' when it comes to splash damage. His energon-laced form means he takes more damage from every attack, but like all "Energon" style bots, he can recharge in-level simply by absorbing energon cubes released by blasting cyberformed scenery.

====As Breakdown====

[[File:BreakdownPig.jpeg|right|thumb|350px|[[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Just take it! Take it take it take it take it take it! TAKE IT!!]]]]

Breakdown is the first Chef Pig character in years and continues the recent trend of overpowered characters like [[Bubbles|Bubbles-as-Mirage]] and [[Mighty Eagle|Mighty Eagle-as-Alpha Trion]]. Although there is the thing about him being paranoid. Which tends to hinder everything he does other than his weapon.

Speaking of which, Breakdown's weapon is a scattershot of rotating pink lasers that can ricochet. And he calls in the [[Strikebot]] bomber every time he turns into vehicle form. Enough to make anyone have a breakdown... except Breakdown, who can casually stroll through a fiery hellstorm. Fun!

*''Squad'': '''Officers'''

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
Victory to the Deceptihogs! The Autobirds failed in their mission to acquire the Eggspark, thanks to [[Minion Pig#As Captain Starscream|Captain Starscream]], and are now fleeing from the Deceptihog threat. But as you know, [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] is not one to just let his enemies get away that easily. Thus he sends Major Soundwave and his comm hijacking abilities on a hunt for the scaredy-birds. Major Soundwave plans on tricking the Autobirds’ into going right where he wants them. But first he’ll have to face [[Blues#As Major Prowl|Major Prowl]]...

His weapon fires clips of three arcing sound-blasts, the first one being accompanied by a purple cloud-bullet that has the same effects as a sound-blast. An all-new sound-bullet, possibly?

{{-}}

====As Neon Soundwave====
[[File:ABneonsoundwave.jpeg|thumb|250px|"Alexa, play Skrillex"]]
*''Squad'': '''Cobalt Crew'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40) or Challenge Event Prize ('''''0''''' Tokens)
Once more, Soundwave is needed to do the only thing his now Neon-powered tyrant [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron]] finds him useful to do: intercepting autobird transmissions. [[Blues#As Neon Prowl|Prowl]], now also imbued with the new Energon variant, has orchestrated a massive communications blackout in order to tend to their wounded uninterrupted. Deceptihogs love interrupting! And thus Soundwave embarks on a manhunt for his old enemy, but not before he himself has undergone the Neon treatment!

Neon Soundwave’s weapon shoots one sound-blast, which it can do thrice before it needs to reload. Pretty much the same as Major Soundwave, minus the weird extra bullet. Additionally embibing the power of Neon has granted Neon Soundwave the same effects as Energon characters: he can heal himself by collecting Energon cubes on the field, but also takes more damage.

When the tie-in Challenge Event for [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)#War Pass|War]] Season 21 rolled out, something happened that made the small but active Angry Birds Transformers fanbase shake to the core: due to a programming error, Neon Soundwave was available in the Token Exchange for the whopping amount of ''0 Tokens''. All a player needed was to have any amount of Tokens on them and a free Neon Soundwave was theirs to take. And if that wasn't enough, a day later it was also discovered that purchasing the [[Laserbeak (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers|Laserbeak]] accessory (for the usual amount of 2500 Tokens) from the Token Exchange unlocked the whole Prime Pass ''for free'', allowing players to also unlock Neon Prowl and every other Prime Pass reward without spending the inherent $19.99. For many new players, this marked the moment they got their first Prime Pass character. An occurence that will go down in ABTF history for many generations to remember.

**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

: As a Telepod figure, Soundwave Pig [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from vehicle to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down. He has a scan-code on the bottom of his feet, which allows him to be scanned into the ''[[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]]'' app when placed on top of a magnifying Telepods base, included with the set. Doing so repairs in-game Soundwave's health, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

: This toy was [[redeco]]ed into Soundblaster Pig and Energon Soundwave Pig (see below), and was [[retool]]ed into [[Bubbles#Toys|Jazz Bird]] and [[Terence (AB)#Toys|Ratchet Bird]].

:''Minion Pigs are Bad Piggies and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig joined his leader on his plot to poach the EggBots. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

Starscream Pig was part of a crazy dance party at the Deceptihogs' headquarters, where they used the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots pestered Bumblebee Bird, raining down laser blasts onto him. When one of their stray shots destroyed the little umbrella in Heatwave Bird's drink, who was relaxing nearby, the irate Autobird took them all out with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

When the Allspark Egg crashed into Piggy Island, its hordes of Minion pigs were granted Cybertronic armor. Some got better gear including weapons though, and some even gained bodies based on the [[Decepticon]]s Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

[[File:Thundercracker-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (900 pigs) TelePod

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

====As Starscream====

*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

Sunstorm Pig launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level. Instead like every other Combiner in the game, he dismembers himself and rockets off along with Astrotrain.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of six (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====

*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does.

*''Squad'': '''Coneheads'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires clips of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to suffer damage over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction and damages them at the same time, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. AND, they retain the same stunning EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Although it's unknown as to why the game depicts Nova as a 'male' as per her squad biodata.

As the last ever Rainmaker to be released in the game, Nova Storm's weapon is a blue water bullet blaster, whose shots contain explosive splash force and can most definitely displace pigs and blocks from their towers. Additionally, upon higher upgrades, these water bullets upgrade to large purple ones, and towers and pigs on screen will simply blast out of oblivion upon getting touched by them.

The war continues and the Deceptihogs decide to send in the ultimate weapon, a Combiner! Sergeant Devastator is massive and will do his best to take down the Autobirds. But the Autobirds have a titan their own- [[Bomb (AB)#As Sergeant Omega Supreme|Sergeant Omega Supreme]].

His weapon acts just like his original.

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader.

Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.

There is one wee little problem though: [[Stella (AB)#As Neon Chromia|Neon Chromia]] has investigated the new high-tech warehouse and is now plotting to infiltrate and incinerate! It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The blue TNT thower still remains with him, though.
{{-}}

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the white-box helm wearing rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

: As a [[Telepod]] figure, Energon Starscream Pig [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from jet to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down.

Doing so repairs in-game Energon Starscream's damage, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

: He was only available as part of a multi-pack with "Energon" versions of [[Red (AB)|Optimus Prime Bird]], [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]], [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]] and [[Chef Pig|Soundwave Pig]].

*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)
* [[Tony Hale]] voiced a Minion Pig called '''[[wikia:angrybirds:Ross|Ross]]''' in the 2016 ''Angry Birds'' animated movie.
* Rather than being added to the game separately, all three Coneheads were added at the same time.
* Minion Pig is currently the character with the most incarnations in the game, even when not counting the Eggbot Army.

King Pig

:''King Pig is a [[Deceptihog]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] continuity.''
[[File:Model-megatron.png|thumb|250px|Pigs through tyranny!]]

Though he's dim as a burnt-out bulb, '''King Pig''' "ruled" [[Piggy Island]], commanding his countless followers in a never-ending drive to steal eggs for tasty meals, only to be beaten time and again by members of the [[Autobird|Flock]]. And then the [[AllSpark]] hit the island, granting King Pig the powers of tank-mode [[Decepticon]]s like [[Bludgeon (disambiguation)|Bludgeon]], [[Brawl (disambiguation)|Brawl]], [[Shockwave (disambiguation)|Shockwave]], and even the mighty (Dark) [[Megatron (disambiguation)|Megatron]]! Sure, he's not exactly sure-footed on those treads (he didn't use to even ''have'' feet, after all!), but when one of his new limbs is a powerful cannon? Look out, birds!

Unfortunately, the moment he gained these new abilities was ''also'' the exact moment he lost control of virtually all of his [[Minion Pig]] army, who joined forces with the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s. Thus he's been forced to team up with his former enemies—now calling themselves the [[Autobird]]s—to free his fellow loyal Pigs and prevent Piggie Island from being turned into nothing but cold steel.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 KingPig eatinpeace.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
[[File:ABTF1 NolongermereKingPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|right]]
King Pig was readying himself for an egg dinner when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. Frustrated that yet another one of his meals had been interrupted, King Pig ordered the Bad Piggies to flee. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the EggSpark. Thinking that the artifact might be used as an "egg-cooker," King Pig ordered [[Chef Pig]] to figure out how to use it. The cook passed the task on to one of the [[Minion Pig]]s hauling King Pig's throne, and shoved him into the EggSpark. Upon making contact, the Minion became "Starscream Pig." King Pig was thoroughly disgusted by his crony's new form, especially the way he walked and had... arms. Nonetheless, the power that Starscream Pig displayed was alluring. The rest of the pigs touched the artifact, and King Pig became Megatron Pig! He still thought that arms and legs were gross though. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Though Bumblebee Bird attempted to talk Megatron Pig out of a confrontation, the [[Deceptihog]] leader pointed out that if he wasn't the type to pick fights, he would transform into something other than a tank. The pigs nevertheless fled after [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] made a show of power. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 MegatronPig gets cooking.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|left]]
Starscream Pig began to question Megatron Pig's authority, prompting Megatron Pig to exclaim that he would crush anyone who would attempt to usurp him. His declaration was cut short by a [[Terror Tower]] sprouting up from the ground beneath the Deceptihogs. Megatron Pig and his troops became trapped within it thanks to [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]]'s recklessness. Before they group could fully recover their bearings, they were once more attacked by Grimlock Bird. Megatron Pig failed to stop the [[Autobird]] once more, leaving Lockdown Pig to complete the task for him. No sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the Autobirds arrived. The two factions scuffled, with Megatron Pig teaming up with Soundwave Pig to take on [[Bubbles|Jazz Bird]]. The fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 MegatronPig learn or eat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though Megatron Pig never intended to allow the truce to outlast his need for it. When Starscream Pig was ensnared by the metal tentacles that erupted from a nearby Terror Tower, Megatron Pig chuckled to himself that it served the Minion right. [[Red (AB)|Optimus Prime Bird]] scolded King Pig, telling him that no bird or pig should be left behind. The Autobird leader then accused Megatron Pig of destroying civilizations for millions of years. Megatron Pig replied that all he wanted to do is eat some eggs. The two faction leaders were ready to go at one another's throats before they were talked down by Soundwave Pig and [[Stella (AB)|Arcee Bird]]. Megatron Pig then ordered Soundwave Pig, Galvatron Pig, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] and Jazz Bird to accompany his remaining Minion Pigs to retrieve an Eggbot for <s>eating</s> study. They eventually returned, their task accomplished. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4 KingPig no more walking.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|left]]
The island's transformation then began to spiral out of control. Though Megatron Pig was willing to let the transformation run its course, the others protested, stating that it would surely mean the death of the land itself. Despite Megatron Pig's gripping, the Autobirds and Deceptihogs agreed on a new plan of action: separate the EggSpark from the land to stop the metamorphosis. As they neared their goal, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and began to beat down everyone that stood in his way, regardless of faction. Megatron Pig sardonically commented that at least his underling was effective. Things got even more complicated when Starscream Pig grabbed to EggSpark, intending on using its power for his own selfish goals. In the end, Bumblebee Bird managed to launch the EggSpark off-planet, and everything returned to normalcy. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, King Pig threw a temper tantrum over the fact that he still hadn't gotten any eggs to eat. Nonetheless, he was grateful that he wouldn't need to walk anywhere anymore. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Dark Megatron Pig agreed to help Optimus Prime Bird in rescuing the EggBots in order to prevent them from destroying Piggy Island. After Dark Megatron Pig betrayed Optimus Prime Bird, the two of them battled in their vehicle modes. Megatron Pig lost the duel, and drove away, throwing a fit as he went. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Though Dark Megatron Pig believes himself to be top hog, he and his minions lost a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. He probably went off to cry like a baby after he lost the battle. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

==Commercial appearances==
[[Image:AngryBirdsCinematicTrailer1.jpg|upright=1.66|left|thumb]]
King Pig was turned into Megatron Pig by the power of the EggSpark. Initially clashing with Optimus Prime Bird, the pair were interrupted by the Eggbots, who were cyberforming everything around them, creating big guns that shot at both Autobirds and Deceptihogs. He joined up with Optimus Prime Bird to combat this newly arisen threat. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers: Cinematic Trailer}}

When a [[Walking Mortar Tower]] proved too tough of an opponent for the Optimus Prime Bird to handle on his own, he called upon Megatron Pig to help him out. The two of them together brought down their foe. Optimus Prime Bird then tried to shake Megatron Pig's hand, but he was "too slow," and Megatron Pig laughed at him. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers Comic-Con trailer}}

Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird exchanged a friendly fist-bump as they drove to the EggSpark. Megatron Pig reached it first... and instead of helping Optimus Prime Bird up next to him, laughed in his face and kicked him down as the EggSpark upgraded him into Dark Megatron Pig! He then drove back to the Deceptihogs' headquarters... And used the EggSpark as a dancelight for a crazy dance party. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

Megatron Pig tried to lift some weights at the gym. Unfortunately, his spotter, Galvatron Pig got distracted by Arcee Bird as she walked by, leaving Megatron Pig pinned down. He got out of it somehow, and began working on the punching bag. He then met with Arcee Bird, Airachnid Bird, and Optimus Prime Bird once they had all completed their workouts. The four of them jumped up in a cheer. Freezeframe. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Arcee and Airachnid join the team!}}

====As Bludgeon====
[[File:Bludgeon-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''Leaders'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (300 pigs) TelePod

As Bludgeon, he's a master at martial arts, like his [[Bludgeon (G1)|G1 counterpart]]. He's known for his deadly "Snout fu" and "Hog chi" and notably deadly in backstory puns.

Bludgeon Pig fires two rapid blasts of three purple projectiles in a spread. While they're not the strongest blasts, they do explode on impact, which is excellent if they miss their intended mark, like say, a TNT crate. Speed-wise, he's not the slowest character in the game, but he's pretty low on the rankings.

Bludgeon makes for an excellent "gunner" character in the Jenga mini-game, especially with Accessories that up his weapon's explosive force.

*''Squad'': '''Pure Warriors'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''

Similar to Bludgeon, Brawl fires two fairly quick moving projectiles in rapid succession, with a very short "reload" time between volleys. Though he loses the fan-out fire advantage, his projectiles do more damage per hit. Like Bludgeon he is also a slowish character, but decent armor means he can take more hits to compensate.

====As Ultimate Megatron====
*''Squad'': '''Variant Versions'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (<s>2500</s> 2600 pigs) TelePod

Slow as dirt but heavily armored, Ultimate Megatron slowly trundles into battle, but rarely leaves anything standing. His cannon fires a pair of micro black holes in semi-quick succession that explode into larger vortexes on contact with anything. Anything caught in the (short-range) gravity well is pulled in, meaning towers topple easily. The initial blast is also fairly powerful, and a good series of direct hits can crumble even a [[Walking Mortar Tower]]. However, his reload time is considerable, so it's a good thing he's heavily armored to take some real hits!

As a Variant Version character, he gets double coins if he completes an event, but gets nothing if he fails, even for a tough-armored pig.

*''Squad'': '''Leaders'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (3000 pigs) TelePod

The last of the normal "map" unlock characters, this "standard" version of Megatron Pig is called Dark Megatron Pig for some reason. He is slow, and only fires a single black-hole bomb that packs less punch than Ultimate Megatron's blasts. However, the gravity well it creates is significantly wider and stronger, pulling on towers from much further, and sending flying Pigs and balloon Pigs off-balance and plummeting to their pop. Any blocks close to the singularity are slammed together ''very'' quickly, usually crushing them. Once a tower is down, there's not really a lot he can do to the blocks except toss them around, but he is left free to casually stroll through a rubble-strewn, Pig-free area.

====As Shockwave====
[[File:Shockwave-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Joining me with a royal fool because of body-type is illogical.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize

So how does the impulsive, short-sighted King Pig mesh with the calm, logical methodology of Shockwave? Not very well at all. Not helping is Shockwave Pig's nagging sensation that he should overthrow Megatron Pig... but Megatron Pig is King Pig ''and'' Shockwave Pig... look, things are a tad confusing on the island right now, okay?

His laser weapon is similar to [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]]'s weapon, but it is comparatively thin, with massive degrees of penetration capable of piercing through anything. This is extremely useful for shooting obscured TNT and Cyberformed structures or a row of Balloon Pigs. His gun will overheat if fired too often.

Shockwave Pig could only be unlocked through special competitions; his first appearance was in the "Holiday Challenges!" December 2015 event, and then in many more events. Codes to unlock Shockwave were also distributed by developer [[Exient]] at the TF Nation 2016 fan convention.

On a side note, Shockwave also <s>runs</s> used to run Shockwave's Spire, even though you have to compete in special events to unlock him. Odd.

The energon-powered version of Shockwave packs a lot more punch to each blast, but takes more damage with every hit. Like all "Energon" variants, he can restore a half-heart of lost health with every [[energon cube]] prized from a piece of de-cyberformed scenery.

Yeah, so it turns out the Dark Megatron version of Megatron (which is mainly white, oddly) is the real one, because this energized version is based on that version. The black hole from this version is strong enough to reliably destroy blocks and pigs. Also, like all other energon characters, it can restore health from de-cyberformed scenery, but it takes more damage in return.

====As Lord Megatron====
[[File:LordMegaporkUpdated.jpeg|thumb|200px|The scarred king on his throne]]
*''Squad'': '''Command'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
War has broken out on Piggy Island! Megatron has decided that he no longer wants to cooperate with the Autobirds, for he knows that they only want to keep the eggs for themselves. So he and his fellow Deceptihogs separated from the alliance to go and fight the Eggbots on their own. But the Autobirds did not appreciate that, declaring war on the Deceptihogs. Unsurprisingly, Megatron was chosen as the rightful leader of the Deceptihogs, and now goes by the name of Lord Megatron!

His weapon is an arcing black hole bullet. This bullet is, strangely enough, blue; the vortex is still purple though. But wait! There's more! After a second or two all of the blocks and pigs in the area that would normally be affected by the pulling forces of the purple vortex will start teleporting to random spots in the air to plummet to their destruction or pop on the ground. This effect doesn't work on [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]], and it doesn't do much damage to them either.

The war continues! The Deceptihogs are fighting bravely, but those pesky Autobirds are still difficult opponents. Luckily, the Deceptihogs receive some aid from Major Shockwave! With the help of this strategic mastermind, this war will be over in a jiffy (foreshadowing)!

His weapon is brand new; it consists of three pink rotating laserbullets. After having hit the target, the bullets will find a new target in the vicinity and cause a lot of destruction.

After [[Corporal Pig#As General Scorponok|General Scorponok's]] facile victory over [[Stella (AB)#As Sharpshooter Moonracer|his avian opponent]], the Deceptihogs send in even more destructive member Scout Brawl to continue the streak. Unfortunately, the Autobirds have a destructive member of their own; the ever so eager [[Chuck (AB)#As Private Cliffjumper|Private Cliffjumper]] charges horns first onto the battlefield...

Scout Brawl's weapon functions just like his original. Thrilling.

*''Squad'': '''Raging Squad'''

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
A new era dawns on the battleground. [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|General Optimus Prime]] has returned bearing a mysterious new [[Energon]]-based power source and is rapidly blasting through the Deceptihog defenses. As hope seems to dissipate more and more for the robopigs, thier legendary leader Lord Megatron suddenly graces them with his presence once more. He too brings with him the new powersource known as Neon, and with renewed armor and villainous intents, the Deceptihogs are ready to fight back.

Lord Megatron Neon, like his Energon counterpart, receives higher damage from attacks but can juice his health right back up by collecting Energon cubes in levels.

[[File:ABneonshockwave.jpeg|thumb|200px|"The Neon is Logical."]]
*''Squad'': '''Weekend Warriors'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Now that [[Minion Pig#As Neon Starscream|Neon Starscream]] has gained the Deceptihogs ever so slightly more of an upper hand again, the Autobirds pull out more of their big guns. Ultra Magnus has returned to battle, fueled by both the power of Neon and an indomitable duty to protect his soldiers. The Deceptihogs have no choice but to turn back to the strategic genius that is Shockwave. Energizing himself with crimson light, Neon Shockwave shakes off his rust and emotions and gets to work.

The power of Neon has granted Neon Shockwave more pain in battle as well. But as is of course custom, he can heal himself with [[Energon]].

==Notes==
[[File:ABTF-Megatron.jpg|thumb|150px]]
*King Pig's new robo-body is based loosely on [[Megatron (Movie)|live-action film series Megatron]] from ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
*The final game model differs from the original artwork developed for the character (seen in-game only on the loading screen). The original design for "Megatron Pig" has a much more claw-like cannon arm, a different design for the head crest, and a much more skeletal abdomen.
*For some reason, the "regular" version of Megatron is referred to as Dark Megatron. This is most likely to make the character feel more special, as he is the last you unlock on the map (not counting Nautica or Devastator) and also because Ultimate Megatron is unlocked ''before'' him.
*Ultimate Megatron's barracks profile was changed in the Deceptihogs Revenge update, coloring his face darker as opposed to the original's more grey face. This was likely done to make him look more similar to his in-game appearance.
*Devastator has an accessory based on Megatron's gun mode from G1, even though he’s already a playable character. A similar thing happened with [[Red (AB)#As Blurr|Blaster]].
*[[Hiroshi Iwasaki]] voiced the King Pig in the Japanese dubs of both ''The Angry Birds Movie'' and its sequel.

:''Minion Pigs are Bad Piggies and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

When the Allspark Egg crashed into Piggy Island, its hordes of Minion pigs were granted Cybertronic armor. Some got better gear including weapons though, and some even gained bodies based on the [[Decepticon]]s Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

[[File:Thundercracker-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (900 pigs) TelePod

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

====As Acid Storm====
[[File:Acid-Storm-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Kremzeek!]]
*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

====As Starscream====
[[File:Starscream-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

Sunstorm Pig launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of six (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====

*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires packs of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to suffer damage over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. And, they retain the same stunning EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Nova Storm's weapon shoots blue pulses at the targets. These pulses have a great explosive force and can send structures flying. Upon higher upgrades, the pulses turn larger and purple, and their splash effects can yeet everything on the screen outta oblivion with a purple whirl.

The war continues and the Deceptihogs decide to send in the ultimate weapon, a Combiner! Sergeant Devastator is massive and will do his best to take down the Autobirds. But the Autobirds have a titan their own- [[Bomb (AB)#As Sergeant Omega Supreme|Sergeant Omega Supreme]].

His weapon acts just like his original.

The Deceptihogs once again need someone who can take to the skies in order to take down [[Stella (AB)#As Scout Arcee|Scout Arcee]], and so they send in their top Seeker, Acid Storm. With his acid rain as a weapon against the Autobirds, the Deceptihogs will surely win. Right?

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader.

Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.

There is one wee little problem though: [[Stella (AB)#As Neon Chromia|Neon Chromia]] has investigated the new high-tech warehouse and is now plotting to infiltrate and incinerate! It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The blue TNT thower still remains with him, though.
{{-}}

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the white-box helm wearing rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

Walking Mortar Tower

2023-12-30T09:10:24Z

Rubenaf16:

:''Walking Mortar Towers are enemies from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity]].''
[[File:Walking-Mortar-Towers.jpg|thumb|400px]]

As if the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] transforming the local [[Minion Pig]]s into a robotic army wasn't bad enough, they also created '''Walking Mortar Towers''', stony pig-faced robots that launch massive lava balls at their targets. These behemoths are vast in number and one of the island's biggest threats!

==Commercial appearances==
A Walking Mortar Tower proved too tough of an opponent for Optimus Prime Bird to handle on his own, and he called upon Megatron Pig to help him out. The two of them together brought down their foe. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers Comic-Con trailer}}

==Games==
===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
Players can encounter Walking Mortar Towers in any type of level. They appear as vaguely-cube-shaped rock piles until they transform and start shooting deadly balls of lava that take out a large fraction of a heart. You can dodge the lava balls by transforming to vehicle mode, but the Towers can readjust their aim fairly quick and can nail even a speeding jet if given time to aim! Also, these balls cause explosive splash effects upon their impact; they can still scratch with residual damage even if the player nearly dodges them. A winding course or change in elevation can also cause them to miss, plus they simply cannot hit anything at close range, their shots sailing right overhead every time. While the lava balls cannot be locked onto, they ''can'' be destroyed by some characters with carefully-timed aiming, but it's a risky proposition.

Thankfully, they're just as dangerous to their allies, as their lava balls can smash block towers and take nice chunks of Health out of other Towers if they get in the way. Plus they'll walk right through any blocks in their path to get at you, knocking them over.

The Towers are only vulnerable to attack when walking, or if stunned by an [[electromagnetic pulse]] attack. Some characters can barely make a scratch on them without a powerful [[Energonicon]], while others like [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] and [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] have enough firepower to destroy them with ease. There are actually multiple variants of the Towers; the ones with smaller arm cannons have less health, so they can be dealt with more easily. They explode violently when destroyed, taking anything destructible with it in a blast radius even wider than that of a TNT block. But if they're not destroyed and walk far enough (or are blocked by a cliff or unmovable piece of scenery), they will transform back into a dormant rock and cannot be damaged any further... at least, by direct attacks. Health-draining effects like acid rounds will continue to take their toll after the Towers shut down, which will destroy them if they stay on-screen long enough.

Using the [[Ghostbot]] Energonicon, calling in a buddy, or switching characters during Challenge Events will confuse them for a few seconds, leaving them scratching their heads.

==Notes==
* Despite having two cannon-arms, they only launch lava-balls from their left cannon (screen right). Early builds of the game launched them from both, but this was quickly changed to reduce their threat level.
* Walking Mortar Towers have the highest Coin yield for any common foe in the game, netting you 100 Coins when one goes kaflooey.
* They also have the highest point counts for "common" foes during Challenge Events. Whenever they're the daily target, they're worth a whopping ''75 points'' rather than the normal 15. On every other day, they give you a 5-point score rather than the normal 1.
* A Walking Mortar Tower also makes an appearance in the Jenga stage, but it's just there to... be there. It'll leave you completely alone, but it ''will'' block your gunner's shots if your driver fails the course early enough.
*If you find a walking mortar tower in Spark Run, you better run. At higher levels they do more damage then usual leaving you to the death. This was probably done so combiners weren't a threat to spark run as they could destroy levels with ease but not really for walking mortar tower lava balls.

Monolith (AB)

2023-12-30T09:04:48Z

Rubenaf16:

{{disambig2|the ''Angry Birds'' hazard|the Generation 1 location|Monolith (G1)}}

[[File:ABTF-screen MonolithFalling.jpg|right|thumb|300px|[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU4Rk0NATNs eeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE]]]
On the partially-cyberformed [[Piggy Island]], gigantic stone '''Monoliths''' are all ''over'' the place. These immobile pig-faced pillars wouldn't seem to be a big threat at first, but when one's about to fall directly on your noggin? Yeah, that's a threat.

==Games==
===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
Monoliths appear in every level of Piggy Island. Their only method of attack is to topple forward and crash down on your head, and they are able to time it perfectly to ensure they smoosh you, doing massive damage and briefly preventing you from attacking for a split second afterwards. (As level 1 Optimus Prime Bird learned the hard way.) The only (100% reliable) way to dodge is to zip by in vehicle mode, as the Monoliths can't fall fast enough, even for the slower-moving characters. You can even transform back to robot mode ''before'' you clear a falling Monolith, as your momentum can carry you past the plummeting pillar at dodging speed.

However, not ''every'' Monolith will fall, and transforming to avoid a non-falling Monolith can make you miss other targets. Non-falling Monoliths are completely still at all times, while Monoliths that will fall give clues by moving ever so slightly: the green eyes will shift to look at you, the teeth will chomp a few times, and finally they'll wobble all over just before they start their topple.

Monoliths are almost completely unstoppable once they start falling. ''Almost''. The only characters that can reliably do anything to stop a falling Monolith are ones with "[[electromagnetic pulse|EMP Round]]" weapons, which will actually halt a Monolith in mid-fall for a couple seconds, letting them stroll underneath safely. An EMP explosion from a shot-down [[missile silo|rainbow missile]] will also halt a Monolith in mid-topple, but the timing and circumstances for that to happen are nigh-miraculous. Sadly, the EMP power of [[Electroblast]] has no effect on the Monoliths, leading to one big headache if you try.

Combiners like [[Minion Pig#As Devastator|Devastator]], however, have nothing to fear from Monoliths. They simply take the full force of the fall and the Monoloth shatters itself upon them without a scratch on the super-bot's armor. And of course, activating [[Shieldor]] will protect a bot from getting crushinated.

There is one other instance when you don't have to transform to dodge a falling Monolith, but it's risky at best. Sometimes the path will curve closer to the camera, and a falling Monolith at that curve may actually miss as the character walks just outside its fall range. But like the missile thing, that's a trick of pure luck, so best to drive by anyway.

==Notes==
*Not all Monoliths loom over the path; sometimes they're far off into the background, and there are some scenarios where they'll smash a hapless piggy standing beneath it just for show. Of course, you could pop that single piggy before the Monolith does.
* Close calls with falling Monoliths will put the game into ''dramatic slow motion'', whether or not you ultimately avoid getting flattened. This slo-mo effect plays into an Achievement and a Daily Quest, requiring a certain number of successful slo-mo dodges. Timing this basically means transforming to vehicle mode at the last second.
* A Monolith that's already fallen can form a unique threat in "cooperative" Challenge Events. When you swap out characters, the incoming character leaps in from behind... which can make them jump face-first into a fallen Monolith, and yes, they will take damage, and possibly get slightly stuck. So make sure you're well clear of a fallen Monolith before swapping out characters.

Unicron Pig

2023-12-30T09:02:39Z

Rubenaf16:

{{disambig3|Unicron}}
:''Unicron Pig is a very big pig from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] series.''
[[File:Unicron-Pig.jpg|thumb|400px|The final role of Porkson Welles]]
Something squealing's watching over you. Snorting in the sky above, and there's nothing you can do. A massive threat to [[Autobird]] and [[Deceptihog]] alike, '''Unicron Pig''' is the biggest, baddest boar in the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]] army, a hill-sized hog's head of staggering power.

==Games==
===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
Unicron Pig first appeared in the "You've Got the Touch" Challenge Event, commemorating the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. He was the primary threat for the whole run of the challenge, though once in a rare while you'd get a "normal" level minus the gigantic floating head. In following Challenge Events, there is a small but significant chance that Unicron Pig can pop up rather than the normal stage, just like [[Boss Pig]]. This can be pretty bad for you if you've selected a character not really equipped to handle him, and there really ''is'' nothing you can do to predict it!

Unicron Pig stays far in the background, protected by an impenetrable shield (and in the case of the [[Piggy Island|Cobalt Plateaus]], the terrain itself, a real pain to work around). After a few seconds he begins to attack, launching salvos of three red-armored, flaming [[Minion Pig]]s from his sizable nostrils, which like the [[Walking Mortar Tower]] lava-balls arc through the air and explode on contact. (Luckily these luckless Pigs are worth points even if they explode harmlessly on the ground.) You can throw off his aim with a quick conversion to vehicle mode and back, but he can correct in time for the next salvo. You can tap-target the flaming pigs and destroy them with shots, but since they're in front of Unicron's massive bulk, sometimes you can accidentally target the big guy rather than the immediate threat, so a drag-aim attack tends to work better.

Meanwhile, you have to deal with all the normal stage inconveniences too: block towers crawling with Minion Pigs, falling [[Monolith]]s, [[missile silo|scrambler missiles]] et cetera et cetera et cetera... which often means you have to be paying attention to a ''lot'' of stuff at once or even the strongest characters can be drained of health very quickly.

Beating Unicron Pig is possible, but you don't have a lot of time to do it. After a bit the shield will flicker and evaporate, leaving Unicron Pig vulnerable to attack. After taking a certain amount of damage (roughly 20% of his maximum health bar), the shield pops up again, and your Event score jumps by 250 points. Approximately twelve seconds after the shield goes up, it will flicker and fade again. The trick is to hit him hard and fast, forcing him to throw up the shield quickly as possible. Bear in mind this won't stop him from launching flaming pigs at you, so you need to be sure to alternate targets as needed. Depleting his health completely before then earns you ''1000'' points, though sadly he doesn't blow up, just throws up his shield, stops attacking, and floats away with massive injuries, probably to sulk somewhere. Once [[Astrotrain (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers|Astrotrain]] flies overhead, only a few seconds remain before you lose your chance to beat him. Not long after that point, the shield goes up for good, his health bar vanishes, but thankfully he also stops shooting at you then.

Unicron Pig is affected by [[Energonicon]] powers, which can really tip the balance for you (more through luck thanks to his random-encounter-ness).
*[[electromagnetic pulse|EMP blasts]] from [[Electroblast]] or a shot-down [[missile silo|rainbow missile]] close enough will stun him, so at least he'll stop attacking. But his shield is an automatic defense, so you won't be able to do more than the normal amount of damage before it pops up again.
*[[Reflectron]] can be very effective, as a single hit of reflected-flaming-pig-damage (yes, we just wrote that) can whack of a huge chunk of his health. Not enough to make him throw up the shield on his own, but close! Of course, ''you'' take damage from the hit too, so... risky one, that.
*[[Powerbot]] can also be very effective, amplifying the amount of damage you can do in a short time.
*[[Shieldor]] is arguably the most useful Energonicon against the big boss, especially when Monoliths force you to transform and make you lose ground and valuable time to take him out.

Naturally, some characters are much better suited to handling Unicron Pig than others. Any character with an instant-hit attack like [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] or (ironically) [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] is a good choice, but anyone with a steady-fire high-speed attack like [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee]], [[Minion Pig#As Thundercracker|Thundercracker]], [[Bubbles|Ricochet]] or [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown]] can do well. However, faster-moving characters also give you less time to work, since the duration of events are "timed" by distance rather than actual time, yet the duration of his shield is an unwavering twelve-second period no matter what. Using a character like [[Minion Pig|Devastator]] is a good idea, since his salvos are so strong that sometimes a single shot can take down the 20% of health that is available for taking. While you could pre-plan well in the "You've Got the Touch" event, the random-chance nature of his later appearances can screw you up if you happen to have the wrong character in play. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

==Notes==
* Non-final Unicron Pig designs have popped up in bits of ''Angry Birds Transformers'' artwork. A more moonlike version appears in the pseudo-''TF:TM'' style poster, while a "normal"-sized Unicron Pig with body appears in an in-game mini-comic, posing with Galvatron Pig for a photo hung up on Galvy's wall.
* Speaking of Galvatron Pig, Energon Galvatron's "Medallion" Accessory bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Unicron]]'s planet mode, and he has a "Shield" Accessory that resembles Unicron's [[:File:UK150Unicron.jpg| original shield]].
* There have been a few glitchy beach stages with Unicron Pig where the duration of the level is ''ridiculously'' short. If this happens to you, good luck taking out Unicron Pig, as you'll only have enough time to take one portion of his health.

Missile silo

2023-12-30T08:49:27Z

{{noname-designation}}
{{picsneeded|In-level image of a missile silo.}}
:''Missile silos are a weapon from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] series.''

As if dealing with hordes of laser-blasting idiot [[Minion Pig]]s wasn't enough, the cyberformed [[Piggy Island]] is also littered with '''missile silos''', which relentlessly unload [[Autobird]]/[[Deceptihog]]-seeking missiles into the air.

==Games==
===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
Missile silos can be found in every area of Piggy Island, but will not ''always'' show up in a level. The silos themselves are completely indestructible and unstoppable, but thankfully their payloads are not. The number of missiles fired in succession depends on the difficulty of the area. Every missile unerringly homes in on the player via a wide and sometimes corkscrewing flight path, and ''will not miss'', forcing the player to either shoot them down, or hope something gets in the way. Sometimes they even like to go off screen and home in on you right there so your left totally vulnerable because your character can’t shoot off screen.

Naturally, some characters are much better at that first part than others. Instant-hit weapons of course can knock any missile out of the air with ease at any range. Others need to rely on letting the missile get close in order for the weapon to properly track, and for some characters with big pauses between shots, ''really'' good timing.

The silos can unload a variety of missile types, all worth 30 Coins apiece with the exception of the gold missiles, which are worth 300 Coins:

[[File:ABTF-screen Missiles.jpg|right|thumb|]]
*'''Black missiles''' do a minimal bit of damage, but explode into a mess of black ink, obscuring your vision for some brief seconds. This does not actually affect your ability to aim and fire, just what you can ''see''. As the ink fades quickly, this is really only a problem when there's already a ton of stuff flying in your direction, which might make you miss a more dangerous projectile, like...
*'''Gold missiles and red-warhead missiles''' are types of "scrambler" missiles that, upon contact with an Autobird or Deceptihog, force them to transform into... ''a washing machine!'' While the effect only lasts a few seconds, in this mode the force-'formed character can't do anything but bounce forward at a slightly-slower rate of speed. This is of course really bad for you if there's some wobbly [[Monolith]]s just ahead. Thankfully, any [[Energonicon]]s or called-in partners active when the missile hits remain active during the washingmachinification. The only difference between these two types of missiles is that shooting down a gold missiles yields 300 Coins instead of 30, making gold missiles profitable targets.
*'''Rainbow missiles''' are a different type of scrambler, which forces the robot parts of the target to contort themselves into some very uncomfortable and awkward and ridiculous configurations. Like with the other scramblers, the poor target is unable to do anything until the effect wears off. (Energonicons and partners are, as before, unaffected.) However, these have an upside: shooting them out of the air causes an [[electromagnetic pulse]] of the sort caused by [[Electroblast]], causing all other missiles and flying pigs on-screen to fall out of the sky, and grounded Minions and [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s to temporarily shut down. ''Only'' shooting the missile down will produce the EMP; the missile slamming into scenery or blocks just destroys it. Another slight upside is that...players hit by these missiles will recover faster than they do after being hit by the washing machine specialist missiles.
*'''Giant missiles''' are only found in [[Piggy Island#Games|Pig City]], and are the only kind of missiles launched there but are also [[Boss Pig]]'s primary weapon, albeit weaker. Unlike all the other previous missiles which follow a particular spiraling fashion before slamming into the player, these missiles follow their own path and always launch just at the close moments of their silos going offscreen. These massive missiles move much slower than the others with trails of black smoke, and are often obscured by the towers and buildings between them and their target. Much tougher than ordinary missiles, they can take more than one blast to destroy (depending on the character), and do a quite a bit more damage if they connect. Luckily, only one missile launches per silo, and they don't have any other effect on the character.

[[File:ABTF-screen_InkCover.jpg|left|Splat!|thumb]]
[[File:ABTF-screen_WashingMachine.jpg|center|thumb]]
[[File:ABTF-screen_Scrambled.jpg|right|Now you see why there are no helicopter characters in [[Angry Birds Transformers|this game]]|thumb]]

==Notes==
*When the player is scrambled by a missile, any other missiles in-flight will change course and fly away into the sky... if they're far enough away. Close enough though, and they'll stay on course, slamming into you and keeping you locked into a ridiculous form just a little longer.
*While missiles cannot be dodged, they ''can'' be outrun, but only by the fastest characters in vehicle mode. The missiles actually have a limit to their range, and if they exceed it, they will simply vanish. Of course, you won't be toppling towers that whole time and likely be taking damage from the Piggies atop them.
*Entering [[Astrotrain (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers|Astrotrain]] while scrambled a certain number of times is one of the game's many Achievements. It was a possible Daily Quest for a time, but has seemingly been removed because let’s admit it, who would want to do that.
*Missiles are considered enemies, and will count 1 point towards Challenge Event scores, even if they are destroyed by slamming into you or a rock or anything else... unless they're the main target for that day, in which case the point value goes up considerably. However, you don't get the coins you'd get for shooting the missile down.
*When missiles were first introduced into the game, the silos only launched red-warhead types- seemingly providing headaches for many players alike. Not long though before updates arrived and so did other missile types.
*Rainbow missiles aren't the only way that a Transformer can be body-scrambled; if they rapidly transform back and forth, the character will get scrambled. (When they are hit by a Rainbow Missile they have electricity coming out though). The only time you'll really want to this is to complete a Game Center of Google Play Quest that occasionally pops up.

Boss Pig

2023-12-30T08:42:38Z

Rubenaf16:

:''Boss Pig is a [[Bad Piggies|Bad Piggie]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] series.''
[[File:Boss-Pig.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I'll git them Duke Birds!]]

At one point the head threat (ha ha!) of [[Piggy Island]], '''Boss Pig''' is ready to take down both [[Autobird]] and [[Deceptihog]] alike so the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s can rule uninterrupted. Heavily armored and packing massive missiles that can drop an opponent in one or two blows, and backed by squads of smaller flying pigs, Boss Pig is a threat to be taken seriously!

==Games==
===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
Boss Pig first appeared in the "Enter the Silverbird" [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)/Challenge Events|Challenge Event]], and every stage was simply surviving his onslaught. Following this Event, Boss Pig could appear randomly in the place of the "normal" stages in any Challenge Event, which can be real bad news if your character(s) aren't really suited to taking him on.

Boss Pig's one and only attack is launching rounds of up to five humongous missiles (amount depending on the player's character choice) that fly in a slow, spiraling flight path similar to the giant missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]]. '''''Do not''''' let them hit you; they'll take out a huge portion of your health, if not all of it! While the missiles are slow and Boss Pig doesn't have a great rate of fire, it can be easy to lose track of them as packs of flying Pigs rush in periodically to run interference, plus any target-locks will be lost if a missile goes off-screen. Watch for the falling black smoke of missile exhaust to be ready for one that's closing in but still offscreen. Sadly, Energon is ''very'' scarce in Boss Pig levels, so use your [[Energonicon]]s wisely.

The characters best suited to taking down Boss Pig are those with quick-fire capabilities that can clear out the missiles fast and get in plenty of good shots between salvos. Any characters that have long reload times are ''doomed''. Characters with instant-hit firepower, like the [[Hal#Games|Grimlocks]] or [[Red (AB)#As Epic Optimus Prime|Epic Optimus Prime]], are ''usually'' great choices, but sadly while [[Terence (AB)#As Ratchet|Ratchet]] can clear out missiles quickly, his death-from-above attack does diddly against Boss Pig himself. Leveled-up [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet]] (always a good Challenge Event choice) and [[King Pig#Games|Bludgeon]] are also pretty effective, being able to clear out crowds with quick heavy firepower.

Successfully exploding Boss Pig will obliterate all nearby structures and is worth a hefty point bonus. His missiles are typically only worth a single point each, unless his arrival means your normal target will not appear (such as balloon-Pigs), in which case they're worth 15 points each. In these instances, if you're able, prolong the fight by getting him ''close'' to defeat as soon as you can, then focus on his missiles to rack up big points, finishing him off once Astrotrain flies overhead.

====Boss Bat Pig====
There's also a giant bat version of the Boss Pig occasionally encountered in Caves. He will project homing Bat Pig 'missiles' at you and are about just as painful as the boss missiles, with an added blinding ink effect. His packs of smaller cronies typically appear rarely to interfere compared to the normal Boss Pig. Luckily, the many structures in caves will likely obstruct most of the bat bombs. Popping the Boss Bat Pig is worth 20 Bat Pigs.

==Notes==
* Boss Pig's helmet is based on [[Scorponok (G1)|Generation 1 Scorponok]]'s, minus the side-horns and plus a lot more color. Oh, and plus the big goofy propeller, of course.
* Boss Pig does not appear to be based on a pre-existing ''Angry Birds'' character. He's just a generic giant pig.
* [[Minion Pig#As Starscream|Normal Starscream]] used to be able to ''slaughter'' Boss Pig by dropping him with a single null-ray blast, but that was rendered moot a few months after Starscream's debut. Welp.

Minion Pig

{{factions|deceptihog}}
:''Minion Pigs are Bad Piggies and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

====As Acid Storm====
[[File:Acid-Storm-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Kremzeek!]]
*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

====As Starscream====
[[File:Starscream-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit lasers (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

Sunstorm Pig launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a vortex bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of six (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====
[[File:Cyclonuspig.jpeg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does.

[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires three closely-packed rotating sonic waves with a wobbly heat-seeking motion.

[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws EMP-ized stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. This means 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to paralyze 'em. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Nova Storm's weapon shoots blue pulses at the targets. These pulses have a great explosive force and can send structures flying. Upon higher upgrades, the pulses turn larger and purple, and their splash effects can yeet everything on the screen outta oblivion with a purple whirl.

The war continues and the Deceptihogs decide to send in the ultimate weapon, a Combiner! Sergeant Devastator is massive and will do his best to take down the Autobirds. But the Autobirds have a titan their own- [[Bomb (AB)#As Sergeant Omega Supreme|Sergeant Omega Supreme]].

His weapon acts just like his original.

The Deceptihogs once again need someone who can take to the skies in order to take down [[Stella (AB)#As Scout Arcee|Scout Arcee]], and so they send in their top Seeker, Acid Storm. With his acid rain as a weapon against the Autobirds, the Deceptihogs will surely win. Right?

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

*''Squad'': '''Misfits Squad'''

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader. Will her explosive attitude be enough to squash the old and wise Transformer?

Her weapon is unchanged. Nothing else to say.

Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

After months upon months of victory, the Deceptihogs now find themselves slapped miles back at the hand of [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|General Optimus Prime Neon]]. As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, weapons-still the same.

Now that the Deceptihogs have set up their new supply HQ, all seems to be going well for the green-tinted army. There is one wee little problem though: [[Stella (AB)#As Neon Chromia|Neon Chromia]] has investigated the new high-tech warehouse and is now plotting to infiltrate and incinerate! It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The weapon is still the same, though.
{{-}}

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the white-box helm wearing rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

==Notes==
*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)

[[File:MetalMeltdown-saberhorn.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Big bad beetleborg.]]

'''Saberhorn''' used to be a pirate, roaming the spacelanes and plundering cargo vessels. A gentleman swordsbot, he cuts a dashing figure as he uses his swords and swift footwork to make short work of his foes. Also, his alternate mode is a robotic winged rhinoceros beetle, he is a part of the leadership trio of Decepticons on the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'', and can sometimes combine with [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]] to form [[Saberclaw]].

[[File:TRID E 36 Saberhorn Beetle Mode.jpg|thumb|left|250px|You have me at a disadvantage. I forgot my giant fly swatter.]]
Saberhorn was a captive aboard the ''Alchemor'' when it crashed on [[Earth]], although he wasn't on [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]]'s prisoner manifest for reasons unknown. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} Freed during the impact, he took leadership of the civilization of Decepticons, alongside [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]] and [[Glowstrike]], {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} and was sent out to obtain [[thermatanium]]. He was collecting some from a quarry near [[Crown City]] when he encountered [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] but was able to make off with a collection of ore. He took it to a steel mill to smelt it, and was again found by the Autobots. He seized [[Russell Clay]] as a hostage and almost succeeded in melting down Bumblebee, but was forced to flee after Grimlock grabbed him. He returned to the starship wreck where his bosses were unimpressed with his antics. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}}

Saberhorn was in attendance after [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] returned to the base with a group of recently freed ''Alchemor'' escapees for [[Glowstrike]]'s consideration, reflecting fondly on Steeljaw's potential. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:TRID E 36 Saberhorn Robot Mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"As you can clearly see, this ghost was freed entirely by chance."]]
When Steeljaw was talking to his troops about the chain of command, Saberhorn and Glowstrike arrived to have a word with him. Steeljaw assumed that they were onto his betrayal and prepared to annihilate them, but was instead shocked to learn that they were offering him a leadership position. As a display of his power and loyalty, Saberhorn, Glowstrike, and Steeljaw dealt with a suspected terrorist amongst their ranks. Their conversation with Steeljaw ended when they walked into a weapons room and Glowstrike mentioned that there was a pod of Decepticon hunters that they needed help opening. {{storylink|Portals}}

Saberhorn and Glowstrike didn't take lightly to being summoned by Steeljaw, but they were more than impressed when he opened the weapons container. Saberhorn then asked Steeljaw to hand them over, but instead, Steeljaw turned his new-found weapons on Saberhorn and Glowstrike. During their later confrontation against the Autobots, Saberhorn and Glowstrike bowed to Steeljaw as he claimed the ''Alchemor'' to be the first outpost of his new empire. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Saberhorn accused Steeljaw of stealing the island after he was kindly accepted to be one of their own, but Steeljaw countered by sardonically stating that deceit was part of the Decepticon way. After their skirmish with the Autobots, resulting in [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]]'s capture, Glowstrike held Bumblebee's dropped Decepticon Hunter against Steeljaw, but Steeljaw reacted quickly by shooting down both Saberhorn and Glowstrike. Saberhorn was most likely re-frozen after the Autobots detonated a [[stasis bomb]] in the ship's ventilation system, along with the other Decepticons, and taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], Windblade, and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

*'''Saberhorn / Bisk''' (Crash Combiner, 2018)

:Part of the fourth and final wave of the ''[[Combiner Force]]'' [[Crash Combiner]]s subline, Saberhorn is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his Cybertronic rhinoceros beetle into a robot in 7 steps, deviating from the other Crash Combiners' simplified transformations. He can also spread his legs for a more dramatic pose thanks to his combined form's transformation scheme. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation in his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on his abdomen indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A 5 mm post hole on top of his beast mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Saberhorn comes packaged with [[Bisk_(RID)#CrashCombiner|Bisk]] and is intended to combine with him to form [[Saberclaw]]'s lower torso. Connecting them to each other (more like bumping each other's asses) will activate Bisk's automatic transformation, but Saberhorn must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

:This two-pack was a very late addition to the ''Robots in Disguise'' line, with a Hasbro product code number in the same region as the wave 1 Prime Masters from ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''.

[[File:Brainpower Axiom.jpg|thumb|right|300px|I hate every ape I see from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z.]]

One of [[Simacore]]'s two [[Mini-Con]]s, the haughty chimp '''Axiom''' spends most of his time sniping at his partner [[Theorem]], who responds in kind. In spite of their bickering, they ''are'' able to put aside their differences when faced with a common threat... especially when that threat is an oafish Autobot that they can both take out their frustrations on. Such is the burden of intelligence.

Axiom was one of the many Decepticons imprisoned aboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. Along with Simacore and Theorem, he escaped when the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. Axiom and Theorem accompanied Simacore's raid on a particle research facility, and were deployed in the initial clash with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], although they both overshot their targets. Axiom wound up tangling with Strongarm. Simacore later used them to try and claw through a door to get to Grimlock, although neither of them could get through. Instead, the two Mini-Cons strapped Strongarm and Bumblebee to a [[particle accelerator cannon]] then returned to Simacore. Along with Simacore, they were eventually defeated by Grimlock and returned to a [[stasis pod]]. {{storylink|Brainpower}}

Axiom's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

The gargoyle-like '''Anvil''' is about as sharp as his namesake. But his limited intelligence is hardly an impediment to his primary job: pummeling [[Autobot]]s insensible. And when paired with his fellow [[Cyclone]] [[Hammer (RID)|Hammer]], they're quite the attack dogs.

Anvil was part of the group of Decepticons led by [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]] and [[Glowstrike]]. He and Hammer were teamed up with [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]] and sent to obtain sound boards from the [[Rumbledome]], which was hosting a [[Rear Axle]] concert. The two were sent on watch-bot duty by Bisk, but didn't do a terribly good job, as the Autobots' human ally [[Russell Clay|Russell]] accidentally walked right into the storage room they were ransacking. When Russell knocked over a box of cymbals, the pair of Mini-Cons quickly pounced on and brought the source of the noise to Bisk... that is, they brought the ''cymbals'' to him, having missed Russell completely. Anvil took a few cat-like playful swipes at the wires dangling from the sound board Bisk was working on, earning him a quick rebuke from the Decepticon. In response to more Russell-caused noise, the two Mini-Cons started shooting up the place, and an irritated Bisk ordered them to guard the door. Russell escaped via the service elevator, and the trio moved on...

The Mini-Cons accompanied Bisk on-stage, the Decepticon posing as part of the show's "epic space battle" costume and effects extravaganza, aiming to take the remaining sound board from the on-floor sound booth. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] got in the way, and Bisk took the chance to sic the Mini-Cons on the momentarily star-struck Autobot. However, Bee quickly grabbed the two Mini-Cons, bashed them together, and tossed them into a gigantic speaker stack, shorting them out and knocking them offline. Once Bisk too was taken out of commission, the three were stuffed into a crate for transport and incarceration back at the [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]]. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Night Off}}

Anvil's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

This in-game gargoyle appears to be way more physically different than his show counterpart, as is the case with many others in the game. He possesses bright red eyes, a sky blue and gray chassis and completely altered facial characteristics.

*'''Sideswipe Vs. Decepticon Anvil''' (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2016)

: Part of the first wave of Mini-Con 2-packs, Anvil transforms from a spiked spheroid into a winged gargoyle-like robot. As a Cyclone Mini-Con, he is designed to be launched from the [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] [[Crazybolt (RID)#Toys|Crazybolt]] and [[Overload (RID)#Toys|Overload]] toys. He has multiple indents that look for all the world like Mini-Con armor attachment points, but he does not actually come with any armor.

: He was only available in a two-pack with the [[Sideswipe (RID)#MiniCon2pack|basic-sized "Decepticon Hunter" Sideswipe]].

: This mold was also used to make [[Barithunder]].

*'''Mini-Con 4-Pack''' (2016)
:Packaged with [[redeco]]es of Hammer, [[Undertone|Scorch Strike Undertone]], and Weaponizer [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], Anvil is a redeco of his Battle Pack toy in purple. The [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]] labels this figure as "Stealth Anvil", though this descriptor is nowhere to be found on the 4-Pack's packaging.

This Anvil has the plastic breakdowns and deco of the four-pack version (minus the silver on his legs), but with the torso and wings in the slate blue color of his original toy.
